Radium Springs Lift Station Mural

Overview

Artist Chris Johnson transformed the lift station on Spring Run Bridge at Radium Springs Garden into a beautiful mural for visitors and residents to enjoy during their time at Radium Springs. Johnson uses the mural to tell the story of Radium Springs’ endurance through the trials of nature. The contrast of dark clouds and a fiery sky represents the Great Flood of 1994 and the fire of 2000 that led to the Radium Springs casino’s demolition. Beyond telling the story of natural disasters, the mural showcases the beauty of nature’s strength. Characters on the mural include wildlife like turtles and a blue heron (one of the artist’s favorite animals), and Native Americans navigating water by canoe.
