Prairie Flower Sculpture
​Grinnell Arts Council, Grinnell, IA, 2016
​funded by the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Created 5’ 6” tall outdoor mosaic sculpture to mark the entrance to arts center. 
I found inspiration for this public art commission from Pink Milkwort polygala incarnata,  a beautiful but bashful, endangered prairie flower.
