Story

This Mural was created in 2018.

The Mural artist is Rayneil McKinny, a former TRU Bachelor of Science student from the Bahamas. This three-story image spanning across the International Building’s Stairwell is supposedly based on the Jade carving of a ship, located in the same building.

According to an interview of Rayneil on a TRU Webpage, , regarding a previous mural, “‘The best gift you can give another person,’ says Rayneil, ‘is the ability to believe in yourself, that anything is possible.’” (Egan, 2018).
