(KNZA)--Fairview native Christina Klein-Tross has returned to her hometown of Fairview to paint a mural funded by a grant from the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission.

Klein-Tross has a Masters of Fine Arts from Florida State University, a BA from Kansas State University in Painting and Sculpting, and studied at the Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen, Germany. In 2018, she was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study Painting and Printmaking in Germany.

Currently, she is a lecturer at UC Berkeley, and also maintains a private art studio at her home in Berkeley, CA, where she lives with her husband and their two daughters.

Christina's mural design features wildlife and plants native to northeastern Kansas, as well as local Fairview landmarks and farming images. It's located at the west entrance to Fairview.

The design was chosen by a specially appointed committee, working in conjunction with the Fairview City Council and Mayor Art Vonderschmidt.

The successful grant application was submitted by committee chair Sierra Renner-Goering.
