Suspended in Bloom

A new mural by Florida-based artist Naomi Haverland now anchors the facade of Mosaic at Lake Toho — a nature-inspired tribute to the spirit of Earth Day.

A Landmark for Lake Toho

A surreal fish, held aloft by chains and crowned with blooms — balance, transformation, and the meeting of nature and the structures we build.

Created by Florida-based artist Naomi Haverland, the mural is a whimsical, nature-inspired masterpiece that speaks directly to the spirit of Earth Day–a surreal fish suspended in midair, encased in a wooden barrel form and held by chains, with blooming water lilies and cattails emerging from the top and an ornate golden key hanging below. Rendered in warm greens, golds, and oranges with meticulous attention to texture and light, the piece explores themes of balance, transformation, and the deep connection between nature and human-made structures.

Situated on the façade of Mosaic at Lake Toho–a premier luxury apartment community nestled on the scenic shores of Lake Tohopekaliga–the mural serves as a bold and beautiful landmark that reflects both the natural beauty of its surroundings and the vibrancy of Kissimmee's growing public art landscape.

Reading the Work

A vocabulary of balance and bloom

Every element in Haverland's composition carries the mural's central idea — that the natural world and the things we build are bound together.

  • The Barrel & Chains

    A wooden vessel and iron links hold the fish midair — the human-made structure that cradles, and depends on, the living world within it.

  • Water Lilies & Cattails

    Blooms and reeds rise from the top of the form — a direct nod to the shoreline of Lake Tohopekaliga and the renewal at the heart of Earth Day.

  • The Golden Key

    Hanging below the fish, an ornate key reads as an emblem of transformation — an unlocking of what nature and design can become together.

  • Greens, Golds & Oranges

    A warm palette and meticulous attention to texture and light give the piece its glow, and its quiet argument for balance.

The Artist

Naomi Haverland

A large-scale mural artist based in Florida and originally from Colorado, Naomi Haverland brings a career spanning more than two decades to every wall she paints. She evolved from the intricate world of chalk art into large-scale murals that capture the imagination of everyone who encounters them — work defined by a playful, whimsical spirit, vibrant color, expressive characters, and a sense of humor that resonates with viewers of all ages.

Her large-scale practice began in chalk art, whose temporary nature invited experimentation in public spaces, and grew into a career in 3D chalk art creating immersive, interactive illusions. For the last five years she has focused on large outdoor murals — rendered, through meticulous attention to texture and lighting, in a realism so detailed it grabs attention at first glance and rewards a closer look.
