Public Artwork

My artwork was chosen to be featured at a bus stop in Fort Collins, Colorado in May 2023. It was exciting (and honestly, a little unreal!) to see my drawing on such a large scale. I took the city bus to my library job when I first moved here, so I had lots to say about the daydreaming that goes on while you're waiting for the bus to arrive!

When I was drawing, I was thinking about toddlers or school-age kids at the bus stop with a parent. What would they find entertaining? My basic design idea was looking at the wheels on the road and imagining what other items could be made with those same shapes. Once I knew that my design had been chosen, I kept hoping that it would be near a school where kids would see it. My wish was granted--sort of! This artwork was near the King Soopers grocery store at Elizabeth and Taft Hill, which is a stop used in part by college kids who attend Colorado State University.
