At Valley Stream Station a series of mosaic works fills the new platform waiting room with works of calming color and charming vistas. 

Portraying the skies and scenery of the area, Swedish-born and Brooklyn-based artist Malin Abrahamsson creates a broad swath of green bands punctuated with more detailed mosaics of local sights, such as a pair of Canadian Geese, a house, and the nearby clock tower. 

Two other large mosaic panels hang above the west stairway and escalator, showing a pale blue sky with a touch of green at the bottom, a seagull in flight, and floating clouds. The works bring to commuters a painter's sensibility with views of the rolling lawns and shrubs of the close-by suburbs, under expansive skies.

Malin Abrahamsson is Swedish born and raised, Brooklyn based artist who received a BFA with an honorable mention from The School of Visual Arts. She is an inter-disciplinary artist who explores material and existential transformation. She is the recipient of several residencies, grants and awards, and has exhibited in New York and abroad. She has completed a number of public commissions, including an interactive sound & sculpture installation at PS 377 in Queens, commissioned by NYC Department of Education and Public Art for Public Schools. Her animations have screened at Toride train station in Tokyo, Japan, as well as at MoMA and PACE University.
