The ' LIBERTY' mural project was produced as a gift for the Government and the People of Costa Rica. It was a gift of the State of Florida, FLORICA ( Florida Costa Rica Institute ), and the Artist. It was dedicated to Peace and Friendship by President Oscar Arias a day before he flew to Guatemala to sign the Guatemalan Peace Accord in 1987 It was sponsored in the Costa Rican General Assembly by the President of the General Assembly; Dr. Rose Marie Karpinski. Voted on for acceptance; it was installed in Juan Santa Maria International Airport; San Jose, Costa Rica. In that location it provided a strong and visible image which celebrates the interrelationship between the people of the United States and Costa Rica, our joint commitment to democracy, and friendship, and respect between our two countries.
In 2005 due to the renovation of Juan Santa Maria International
airport in Costa Rica; the 'LIBERTY' mural and other art was relocated to
the care of the Costa Rica Museum of Art until a future installation site is
completed and prepared to receive the mural.
