Logan Sauer paints rainbow mural for Pride

"The inspiration for the 'Keep Blooming' mural came from a quote from the Disney movie Mulan. The Emperor said to Mulan, 'the flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.' It makes me think what life was/is like for me and many LGBTQ+ individuals and the struggles we face because of the hate and pushback we get from some in our society. But the LGBTQ+ community is resilient, and we will create a future that is safe, accepting, and inclusive for all. This work highlights the diversity of colors and shapes that flowers and plants can have in the natural world, and I think that relates a lot to our community and pride." Logan Sauer/USFWS
