Virgil

Chenango Forks Liberty Partnership student Virgil Sehn recently lent their artistic talents to the community by creating a stunning window mural for the new Forks Food Center. When Binghamton University Community Schools invited Liberty Partnerships to collaborate on a piece of artwork for the space, Virgil was the first person that came to mind! Their creativity and talent continue to inspire those around them.

Virgil dedicated several days to designing the image before taking on the unique challenge of painting it in reverse on the window—a new skill they embraced with enthusiasm. Despite their busy academic schedule, they made time to give back to the community while also expanding their artistic portfolio.

As graduation approaches, Virgil is preparing applications for some of the nation’s top art schools, and this project adds another dynamic piece to their growing body of work.

Chenango Forks Liberty Partnerships is incredibly proud of you, Virgil! Keep creating and inspiring!
