NORTH PORT – For more than five weeks Laura Pommier and Reggie “Tuk” Wanza have been transforming the east wall of Quality TV Sales & Service here into the largest mural of Pommier’s art career, aptly titled “Swing Out Into the World.”
The piece, featuring a joyful child swinging out of a storybook and surrounded by five colorful birds and a playful rabbit clutching a heart-shaped balloon is one of three such pieces meant to showcase First 1,000 Days Sarasota, an initiative funded by the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation dedicated to providing resources for families with young children because those first 1,000 days are so critical to a child’s development.
