Sunday, February 24, 2002 Public Art wraps up This is a mural by Melissa Bonin. It's attached to the back of a building, facing Bayou Teche. This is an odd place for a large public work of art. We do have a river walk of sorts along the bayou, but it doesn't draw crowds because there's nothing there. There's a fence separating pedestrians from the bayou, and there's nothing else to see but the backs of buildings. So the only people who see this painting would be anyone who happens to pass in a boat, and the occasional driver on the back street that runs along the waterfront. I don't know how the decision was made to place it here. Melissa Bonin is an art teacher in the local public school system. She also lives here in the historic district. This just about wraps up the New Iberia Public Art series. I may follow up later with a series on local historic sites. As the mood strikes.
