I am so honored to be one of 19 artists selected from over 1000 to have work placed in the new Kansas City International airport. The process has been thrilling, challenging and satisfying. It’s been over a year start to finish and I’ve enjoyed the journey. I chose to paint 5 people of various backgrounds that represent what it means to live in greater KC. I chose 3 women and 2 men. More women than men as the pendulum needs to swing in more of a feminine direction. A city isn’t about the objects, buildings or what there is to do, but it’s about the people. How they live in the community and what we care about is what defines a city. When people travel through the airport I want them to see a snapshot of the people that are here.
