Icon of the Gull (Cricket Deliverance I)
A seagull–the crop saver of early Mormon Pioneers – is canonized as a divine agent bearing the cricket, both pest and providence. The gull is presented as a vessel of ecological grace, transforming a survival story into a state-sanctioned miracle.

This editorial cartoon by Nick Anderson does a great job of illustrating the issue with Trump's attack on the Smithsonian.

Icon of the Jackalope II (Guardian of Myth)
This piece transforms a folk-tale creature into a powerful symbol, blending the playful nature of the jackalope myth with the serious reverence of a religious icon.

Deseret Icon III
Icon of the Jackalope I (The Sentinel of Zion)
The mythical jackalope guardian of the natural landscape of Utah, which many residents hold sacred in word but not in deed.
She is surrounded by endangered Bearclaw Poppies.

Here’s the second in my Deseret Icon series for the JKR Gallery Business Card Art Show.
This piece depicts, a honeybee, the state insect of Utah, hovering above a beehive, a symbol representing industriousness, which can be turned into an idol if not balanced by empathy and rest. #womensart #bee
