Public Art Commission – 12 and FINAL

Today, I delivered “Up Up and Away” to the Eastside Human Services building on Steele Street in Denver.  I was happy to see how it turned out but was anxious to show it to all the other artists who were also delivering their work to the building.  I was also anxious about how Mary Valdez (Public Art Coordinator for Denver and my main contact) would view the work.  But I needn’t have worried — they all said they liked it [...]
