“We Are” Penn State Painting — Original Football Impressionism Wall Art

This original 3 ft x 4 ft acrylic painting on canvas celebrates one of the most powerful phrases in college sports: “We Are.” Created entirely by hand by artist and Penn State graduate Tom Mosser, this one-of-a-kind Penn State wall art transforms the iconic chant into a bold, physical work of fine art.

The painting is created using Tom’s signature Football Impressionism technique, where an actual Penn State football becomes the tool used to build the image. As the football is pressed, rolled, and worked across the surface, its physical details are permanently embedded into the artwork. Look closely and you’ll see football dimples, seams, laces, traces of the Penn State logo from the ball itself, and even the air-pump hole — authentic textures that come directly from the game.

These marks aren’t decorative additions. They’re the natural result of the process, allowing the spirit, grit, and tradition of Penn State football to literally shape the art. The result is a contemporary piece of Penn State artwork that feels both minimal and deeply emotional — familiar, powerful, and unmistakably Penn State.

Each “We Are” painting is one of a kind and custom created. The artwork is shipped un-stretched in a protective tube, with extra canvas intentionally left so the final mounted size can be slightly larger than the listed 3’ x 4’ dimensions when framed locally.

This is museum-quality Penn State wall art designed for alumni, students, and fans who want more than merchandise — a statement piece that honors Penn State tradition through the game itself.
