This piece was created for and donated to the annual Art á la Carte Silent Auction, benefiting the Department of Art at Idaho State University.
“The event, which raises money for student scholarships, the visiting artist program, department needs and the ISU foundation, will take place at the Pocatello Art Center. The main event includes a silent auction and sale, which will auction off and sell art made by students, faculty, and alumni. The ISU Fine Arts Club will attend and participate as well. We invite the public to come see what our students and faculty have been creating and possibly bring something home! Items at auction include jewelry, ceramics, prints, sculptures, paintings, and wearables.”
