The mural measures 10ft x 10ft and is a striking visual of Thommie Walsh’s life using sweeping colors
symbolizing his lifelong connection to performance, choreography, and Auburn. Expressive line work,
subtle musical notes and dance-step diagrams are hidden in the background in a palette of sienna,
golds, and soft blues — grounding the mural in place and history. Larger-than-life portrait of Thommie
painted with dynamic brushstrokes mirrors his achievements, generosity, and larger than theatrical
energy. His two Tony Award statuettes appear, rendered respectfully and symbolically rather than photo
realistically. Abstracted silhouettes of dancers from A Chorus Line form a rhythmic backdrop, referencing
the iconic line formation while the Broadway marquee glows in vintage bulbs, the golden light
symbolizing the height of his artistic power through bold reds, golds, and deep shadows — the colors of
Broadway.
