The Miami Freedom Tower Mural, 60ft x 20ft, on the second floor'’NOT'’ an original 1920s ,Richard Heseinbottle commissioned the Miami Artisans in 1987/8 to recreate another, to read more about this go to our site at www.trompushka.com . the application for landmark status has to be rewritten. Wade Foy was the lead artist and the remaining Miami Artisans,John Conroy and Mark Coulthard, plus all the others want our deserved credit . This iconic mural was in shreds ,much of it was missing in 1987,the Miami Artisans redesigned much of this beautiful symbol of the New and Old worlds meeting.Wade Foy died 12 yrs ago and we the artisans want this mural dedicated to Wade’s ability to bring talented artists together.Trompushka Studios.
