Public Art at Lions Park

The artist, Jeannette Brossart, is creating public art for the Lions Park Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) project. Her work will be installed during the construction of the GSI installation and will be on display in 2025.

About the Artist

Headshot of Jeannette Brossart

Jeannette Brossart is a mosaic artist based in Durham, NC. Her mosaic designs revolve around nature themes, and often human or animal subjects, where energy abounds. One individual piece of a mosaic may blend into the background, or stand apart and draw attention. It is challenging and exhilarating to transform a piece of glass into a bird feather, human pupil, or leaf blowing in the wind. Creating and facilitating this work with others has been a part of her life since 2003. She has worked with thousands of participants of all ages as well as designed, fabricated, and installed her own works in a variety of settings from public to private, working together with schools, municipalities, museums and non-profits, architects and contractors, as well as homeowners, and private individuals.

Project Details

Raleigh Stormwater will identify, design, and oversee the construction of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) installation at Lions Park. GSI aims to slow down, spread out, and infiltrate stormwater into the ground by using specialized soil, native plants, and stone.

Once constructed, the Lions Park GSI installations will help treat stormwater runoff from impervious areas in the park (such as parking lots, sidewalks and roofs), increase wildlife habitat through the use of native plant species, and reduce the amount of pollution that reaches Bridges Branch.
