For the sake of clarification, Kay Epstein was commissioned by the RI Department of Mental Health, Retardation & Hospitals to paint a picture of the original Rhode Island School for the Feeble-Minded in 1972. The painting was done on canvas and framed, so it is technically not a mural (although the frame is made of wood taken from the stairs of the building it depicts). It now resides at the John O. Pastore Center.

Also of note, Kay Epstein donated an original painting to the Ladd School for a raffle to benefit the Ladd School Pool Fund in the same year.
