Grace

Terry Thornsley

Laguna Beach resident Terry Thornsley is no stranger to the infamous location of the Laguna Beach Lifeguard Headquarters. When the city council called for a sculpture or mural for the reconstruction of the area, it is no surprise he was chosen as a finalist. It was his installation entitled Grace that won over the commission with his recommended mural design just this year. The mural measures four feet in height and about 34 feet in length and includes two cast bronze, copper and stainless steel sheeting. The lighting in between the sheets will create a subtle glow at night. Thornsley sates that the mural is a tribute to the lifeguards with figurative elements to male and female lifeguards.
