The Man, His Mural

by Maria Hess


(page 1 of 5)

Wildlife artist Dan Gotel hopes kids will go ape over his mural at the Brandywine Zoo.Planning on doing the Wilmington Art Loop August 6? Stop by the Brandywine Zoo’s education facility to see the floor-to-ceiling, multi-dimensional mural depicting the zoo’s own furry, scaly and feathered critters, painted by internationally known wildlife artist Dan Gotel. You can see the mural almost anytime, but visit during the loop and you’ll talk art with the artist himself. “This was a labor of love,” says Gotel. “Seeing the children react to this art is a blessing.” For more, call 571-7747, or visit brandywinezoo.org. —Maria Hess
