Artist - Chris Catalogna
Chris Catalogna said it took about 270 hours of painting and 40 hours of designing to complete the mural. The old Madison Elementary School was the focal point of the mural. The Downtown Warsaw YMCA is in what remains of the school’s gymnasium. Catalogna said he wanted the idea of kids running from the past in the future in the mural. The idea of the mural is it’s OK to dream, get out into nature and have fun.

Located in downtown Warsaw, this mural depicts the stunning natural beauty of the Warsaw, IN area. The Kosciusko County Courthouse stands proudly in the background surrounded by dramatic clouds. The image then leads the viewer's eye to a serene lake, one of the many lakes in the area. Colorful, cheerful balloons with lettering on them spell out Warsaw in the top corner, celebrating this unique location.

Beachy the Bison, Winona Lake’s Indiana Bicentennial Bison, placed third in the Indiana State Fair “Bison-tennial” competition in 2016.
In celebration of Indiana’s Bicentennial, cities and towns statewide were asked to purchase and decorate bison sculptures, inspired by the bison on the state seal. Each town or city was then encouraged to decorate its bison in a way unique to it. The other bison can be found in Syracuse, Warsaw, and North Webster.

One hand reaching for another is used to symbolize community and our interdependence on each other and God. Winona Lake and the surrounding region is a very religious area with a long history connected to faith. Allowing God to play a part has strengthened the sense of community.

This sculpture reflects on the experience of enjoying Winona Lake during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. As humans, we often spend these months pondering the changing complexities of life and our place in the universe. This grouping of sculptures shows a principal emphasis on the rhythmic pattern and movement that describes the constant flow and variable surface of the lake. The Fall tower features crisp edged forms that tend to flow downward, representing the time of year when life slows a bit and the vibrant, bright colors of summer mellow and return to the earth. The Winter tower is characterized by less visual movement and a greater emphasis on neutral colors, simplified forms, and static lines that capture winter's quiet, peace, and stillness. The Spring tower is the most energetic and signals a period of rebirth, growth, and stretching out after a long winter's rest. The colors and forms represent our desire to reach for the light in a display of hopeful energy.

A visual combination of the rich religious heritage of Winona Lake and the serene outdoor surroundings creates the concept for the Gathering. The stained-glass church window reminds us of the strength, power, serenity, and love we feel each time we enter a church. The intent is to help each person understand the scripture "you and I are the church...not the building."

The stone sculpture uses the relationship between Nature and Man to illustrate the concept of generosity. The smooth geometric shapes at the top and bottom of the sculpture represent Man, specifically the communities and cities of people. The textured tree-like form symbolizes Nature. The bounty of Nature benefits Man. The efforts of Man gives Nature the chance to prosper. One supports the other, they are both parts of a greater Whole.

The concept for the "Words of Kindness" sculpture is that a meditation of an implied word could create a positive effect on the viewer. The intention is that a of a domino effect where one person feels kindness, then passes it to another person who then transforms a community, followed by its neighboring community changing the region, the nation, and finally the world. The spherical shape was chosen to represent the body as a vessel in which to hold thought and understanding. The spheres contain the meaning of the word "kindness" expressed in seven languages: English, Potawatomi, Spanish, Pali, Arabic, African, and French.

Legacy shows a moment in time expressing the love and joy between a grandmotherly woman, and a little boy. Though the woman is elderly, her agile pose and expression exude an eternal child-like quality. It is not only her knowledge and skill in the art of dancing that she is passing on to the child but joy, love, and grace. The boy's whole being is trying to emulate her as his eyes are fixed on her gaze with awe. The woman is someone who has lived a full and beautiful life and will be remembered for all that she has given to others.

The sculpture is made of a welded aluminum rectangle box beam and aluminum round tubes. In looking at the sculpture the two main elements begin apart at the bottom then they come together and at the top they cross. This illustrates how love works. Love is not a straight line, but a series of bends and curves that keep coming together. Some of the surfaces of the sculpture are painted red which is the color of the heart and love and it will brighten the sculpture when the sky is overcast.

The sculpture honors the wildlife and Native Americans who occupied the south and east shores of Winona Lake before the arrival of the first white settler, John Hamilton, in 1836. First the Miamis, then the Potawatomis were the Native Americans who occupied the southern and eastern shores of Winona Lake until being forcibly removed by the U.S. government in 1838. Treaties opened the way for the first white settlers and eventually for the Beyer Brothers to found a town in 1881.

The concept of a sundial with its ancient timekeeping system is an imperfect method, completely dependent on God's will. Each day is a gift given to us by God. We each receive the same measure of time. What we do with it is our free choice. Peace is made up of many components that we try to control, change, or share. The hands carved out ceramic on the dial are different nationalities and ages, representing the many people of our world. The bare trees represent the twin towers, pushing us to a new beginning. The birds, circling the trees, take us on a journey for peace and freedom in hopes of moving us towards a new beginning. The American eagle guards the facsimile of the new Freedom Tower. The hand-prints visible on the base are from the local youth.

This piece is a representation of the life of Billy Sunday, the greatest Christian evangelist of the early 20th century. Billy was a man on fire with the Gospel of Christ, spreading the Word of God, and calling people everywhere to repentance of sins and faith in the Lord God of the Bible. He was the inspiration for countless evangelists of God's Word, leaving a burning legacy that will never be snuffed out.

With a Roliquery ball, the real art is the impermanent and fragile pattern created in sand when a hand pushes the stone into action. It is delightful to watch people have an "ah-ha" moment when they connect the ball to the pattern in the sand. Carved in reverse on the ball are the words written by a local man in notes and letters to his children about respect. He taught them that respect starts with self and radiates out from there, the same way that a ball will roll in many different directions from a single point at its center. A sphere has no beginning and no end, which fits the concept of respect as he described it.

The "Winona Queen" is an interactive piece representing the wheelhouse of the famous tour boat that rode the waters of beautiful Winona Lake during the 20th century. The wheelhouse was the "driver's seat" of the boat, but unlike the original version, this one allows children and adults to climb in and imagine steering the boat and giving tours of the lake.

The sculpture is based on the infinite value we as a species should place on our young people. The love, time, and energy that our youth need are very important. Viewers are invited to reflect on their own lives and the lives of others and think about what can be done to make positive changes for all of us. The artwork utilizes the images of a rocking chair/highchair and being read to. The chair height communicates the visual perspective children have of the world. Everything appears to be very tall to them. The book symbolizes the story of their lives unfolding.
