“Mastodon Joe”
Right- Sponsor
- Saint Joseph United Methodist Church
- Artist(s)
- Bill Pickelheimer
In the Artist’s Words… Pastor Sid Gauby at Saint Joe Methodist Church asked me to work on the mastodon project. His was the only church to sponsor one, and I was honored to be chosen. Janet Corah, a church member, came up with the concept of Mastodon Joe and the Coat of Many Colors. I designed a fiberglass robe to fit Joe. Then I sprayed the coat with multiple colors and hand-pinstriped it in gold. The outpouring of support during Joe’s progress was overwhelming. The greatest thing to me was bringing the dreams of the whole church to life.
