The Littlefield Animal Shelter is excited to announce the winner of its mural design contest: Starla Taylor, a talented junior at Littlefield High School. Starla’s design stood out among several incredible submissions for its creativity and the positive message it brings to the community.
Starla, an active member of the LHS Art Club and Spanish Club, shared her inspiration for entering the contest: “ For this contest, I wanted to incorporate my art skills and use them for something positive that everyone could enjoy. I felt drawn to painting a mural, even if I had never done so before. I think it’s a good way to give something fun back to the community I live in.”
The mural project, titled “ Unconditional Love is as Close as Your Nearest Shelter,” is set to transform the shelter’s walls into a vibrant and meaningful work of art that celebrates the bond between humans and animals.
“We are thrilled to work with such a talented young artist from our community,” said Cory Collins, Supervisor of Animal Control. “Starla’s passion for art and her commitment to giving back truly embodies the spirit of what Littlefield High School instills in their students. We are honored to watch the future leaders our community is producing and the hope our future generations bring forward. Her mural will serve as a lasting reminder of the unconditional love that pets bring into our lives.”
The mural’s painting is scheduled to kick off this May or June, with Starla leading the project alongside shelter staff and volunteers. The shelter extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the contest and to the local sponsors who helped bring this initiative to life.
