Erie Zoo Train Tunnel, Erie PA

Scary murals for kids in Erie Zoo train tunnel by Paul Barker


In 2003, a first for me: painting in ultraviolet paint, a succession of scary scenes that flash past as the train rumbles through a long dark tunnel. One of numerous exhibits I’ve painted for the Erie Zoo in Pennsylvania.

What you see above is a collage of paper photos I created for my muralist’s portfolio years ago, and I no longer have whole copies of the photos I used.

If you like train tunnels, don’t miss the paintings I did for the train tunnel at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin.
