City of Wylie Website"The 14-foot-long wall features seven mosaic panels depicting Wylie Fire Rescue’s rich history and service over the last 100 years. Artists Larry Enge and Charlotte Lindsey, known as Montage 48/61, worked from photographs, placing thousands of tile pieces together to create both black-and-white and color images. Several of the panels were inspired by photographs taken by Rick White, a former mayor pro tem, and his wife Alicia.
“The artwork is dedicated to the past and present members of Wylie Fire Rescue in recognition of their selfless service,” said Randy Corbin, fire chief when the piece was unveiled. “The fire department is honored to be the site of Wylie’s first public art project as we celebrate 100 years of fire service.”
