Michelle Lamb’s print of Passages, her large mural located at the Littleton Light Rail Station,
shows the historic city of Littleton, Colorado in various seasons and times of day moving from
left to right. Lamb includes around fifty well-known landmarks of the city including the
courthouse, Columbine Mill, and the Platte River. Lamb found inspiration for this work by
studying archival photos of the city from the early 1900’s. The folk art style of the panoramic
print adds to the historic feel and culture found throughout the city.
