"Fertile Ground" mural painted on the side of the
Omaha Energy Systems building. Depicts life in Nebraska

Following months of research and planning, Meg Saligman and assisting
artists began painting "Fertile Ground" in spring 2008. The 32,500 square-foot
mural is located on the exterior wall of the Omaha Energy Systems building. It
was completed in June of 2009 and dedicated to the people of Nebraska by the
Peter Kiewit Foundation who solely funded this monumental gift to the city of Omaha.
