Children at Camp Noah painted a mural with eastern Kentucky artist Lacy Hale.
On a summer day at the Floyd County Community Center in the mountains of eastern Kentucky artist Lacy Hale gently guides a group of 5 to 12-year-old kids as they paint a mural with images of cardinals, the state flower, and helping hands. The mural is one of resilience and hope.
