In the Artist’s Words… “Share the experience,” the sponsor’s theme, was my focal point. In a grand, kaleidoscopic style, I was prepared to share the experience of our past including our geographic past. Keeping to my favorite illustration style, I depicted our parks, historic landmarks, a cityscape, iconic businesses, and even those wonderful building stones the crazy glaciations left us. There are several personal treasures on the mastodon including my own garden, my mom’s patio, and two treasured pieces of jewelry that artist Bob Bentz made. It’s always been my practice to write in names as I work large ink-lined spaces such as tree foliage. It’s therapeutic — kind of like a Tibetan prayer wheel. So just about everyone I know and love is named somewhere on the piece — just don’t expect me to remember where.
