As wraps up, we’re highlighting Marisa Morán Jahn, the artist who created our stunning Great Hall mural “TIPSY”! 🥂

Jahn was born in Texas to an Ecuadorian mother and Chinese father, frequently creating artworks that remix cultural icons to destabilize fixed ideas. “TIPSY” is a site-specific installation that explores the role of art and “spirits” (drinks made from distilled and fermented plants) in shifting perspective and communing with the divine or with others.

Hear from Jahn about her inspiration for "TIPSY" at our FREE Artist Talk on June 9 at 6 p.m. Click the link in our bio to register!
