"Dragon Flight" was originally commissioned in 2003 as a double-sided triptych (15 feet x 44 inches) for the Samson-Dimond Branch Library in Anchorage Alaska. In 2010, the textile work was relocated to the Chugiak-Eagle River Library, and in 2016 was expanded to 6, double-sided panels featuring a community art component on the reverse. 

​
This project was supported by generous grants from the Chugiak-Eagle River Foundation, the Anchorage Library Foundation and Friends of the Library.

"Lost in a Book," commissioned painting. Photography, Chris Arend.

​The librarians' request for a “joy filled” painting for the entrance to the children's area of the newly completed Wasilla Public Library inspired this whimsical piece . My previous work as a children’s book illustrator led to the exploration of the magical quality of childhood, while considering the site specific nature of the wooded birch grove  surrounding the library.
