Jason Studebaker (in lift) and Jeff Punnihoo of Imagine Visual Service of Seattle install a vinyl recreation of a mural by the late Sequim artist Tim Quinn at the Dungeness River Nature Center on Jan. 27.

Quinn created a 16-foot mural in 2002 that depicts the river south to the Olympic Mountains, with various wildlife scattered throughout the piece.

To honor his memory (and to maintain the teaching tool), the center staff had the piece photographed, enlarged and restored as a weatherproof mural on the center’s west side.

Imagine Visual Service staff also added murals inside the center last week.

Quinn moved to Sequim in the mid-1980s and established himself as a multitalented artist in several media, creating several murals throughout Sequim and Port Angeles.

The Sequim Gazette’s cartoonist for more than two decades, Quinn died in 2009.
