"Two-Bit" Nature Mural at La Sierra University

A colorful nature mural covers the north-facing side of Visual Arts Center 2 building at La Sierra University (4500 Riverwalk Parkway, Riverside). The mural selectively highlights examples of the native flora and fauna of the La Sierra and Riverside areas.  It is entitled Two-Bit and was painted by Elizabeth Jean Younce (@elizabethjeanyounce) in 2023.  From the La Sierra University CAS Dean's Office Instagram post "The piece is named for Mount Two-Bit which lies just beyond this wall. The design depicts flora and fauna native to the Riverside and specifically La Sierra area, as if you were standing atop Two-Bit, looking Eastward to the snowy peaks of San Bernardino and beyond." There is a sign at the base that identifies the various animals and plants in the painting.
