At the entrance to Dean’s Way, Maiden of the Stairs welcomes visitors with a graceful mosaic inspired by the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha. Created with students from the Wyomissing Area Summer STEAM Academy and led by ceramic artist Beverly Leviner, the piece transforms a small wall into a memorable gateway to the mural corridor.

About the Project
Students learned the mosaic process from start to finish, rolling and shaping clay tiles, glazing and firing them, breaking manufactured tile for background pieces, and preparing the work for installation. The finished mosaic reflects both the vision of the lead artist and the hands-on participation of young artists who helped create a permanent work just a short distance from their school.
