If this is any indication of how Michigan legislators have dealt with road maintenance then what do you believe will be gas companies intentions when old and non profitable well pads are abandoned. Left behind to obscure the land site, reeking with remnants of carcinogens. We have seen first hand what has happened in the Gulf of Mexico (more…)

Art Prize Grand Rapids Michigan
Stick-to-it-ive-ness: Unwavering pertinacity; perseverance 2012 ArtPrize Entry Urban Space Short List The visual representation of horses running on the river’s surface, symbolize the struggles and perseverance, the simple grace yet powerful attitude that everybody needs in difficult situations. The title came about as a life lesson: since surviving stage 4 cancer, I don’t take life for granted anymore. As an artist, I challenge myself to create more of an impact among the others by transmitting a message inspired from the normal life of Mother Nature.
