After more than two years of hard work and dedication to her passion for representing the beauty of local wildlife, Las Cruces artist Kathy Morrow will celebrate her finished rock art mural in front of the New Mexico State University's Golf Course with an official ribbon-cutting in April.
The ribbon-cutting will take place at 4 p.m., Thursday, April 3, at the NMSU Golf Course clubhouse, 3000 Herb Wimberly Drive.
Morrow began making animal designs with colorful rocks in 2017 at the Tortugas dam, but in 2021, she had to remove and relocate the rock art by order of the Elephant Butte Irrigation District. Nine months of moving and disassembling the rocks to the NMSU Golf Course followed, then she began the 17-month process to redesign and rebuild the mural with the help of many volunteers.
