Gale was commissioned to paint a mural in the Fort Collins Northside Aztlan Community Center (NACC) in 2024. After the center's lobby was renovated, the preschool/camp entrance needed more color and fun! Gale brainstormed themes with a small team of city managers, sketched early concepts and developed a final plan. The result was a 3-wall mural design of the Colorado outdoors, with many Colorado animals -- in their typical habitats -- scattered throughout the landscape.

​

Gale began painting her design on panels (to be printed on window vinyl) and on the actual walls in April 2025. She completed the mural in July 2025 and titled the mural "Flourishing Together".
