Artist Statement

Even though America is one of the youngest countries in the world, we have built this nation into a celebrated cultural mecca influenced by people from different cultures, art, science, technology, architecture, pop culture, and our amazing natural landscape. In this piece, our culture is represented by American landmarks and icons spanning from coast to coast including our farms, ranches, mountain towns, suburban areas, National Parks, and our vibrant cites. These landmarks are situated between a lighthouse in Maine on the right side and a lighthouse in Washington State on the left side. All these features as a unified whole, from sea to shining sea, is what makes America great. We would not be the same great country without each and every one of them. Furthermore, all the people from these locations is where our power should come from in order to heal and to come together, not relying on the politicians of Washington D.C. This scene was made with hope that we can learn to work together and to continue to be a great nation. — Beth Kerschen
