Make a Wish Upon a Coin

Updated: 4 days ago

I have two works exhibited throughout September for the Arts Cheyenne ArtHaus mobile gallery. My style fits perfectly within this month's theme: Plein Air. There is another part of my style that fits in with themes of today: Reclamation. I often work on reclaimed surfaces, like architectural salvage, so today provided a unique opportunity for my art to fit into a larger background: Finding beauty in the lost and forgotten.


Today, ArtHaus was parked at the dedication of the recently rehabilitated airport fountain via the efforts of the Historic Preservation Board. In addition to the grand reveal of the fountain, the old airport terminal and future home of the Arts and Aviation Center had an open house. The public was not only granted access to the beautiful fountain waters that have laid dormant for decades; but also to the historic mid century modern terminal--with rare hyperbolic paraboloid roof--that has long sat vacant. Arts Cheyenne, Wyoming Aviation Heritage League, and other concerned groups have come together to save this historic space from the wrecking ball.


My art lives at the cross-section of recognizing beauty in the old and making a new meaning of it. Through a new appreciation, beauty is not lost.
