I’m pleased to announce that I have been selected by the Flint Arts Council to design a stained glass window for the MTA Transfer Station in Flint, MI. I am collaborating with the talented stained glass artist Patricia Deere from Tecumseh, MI.
Here is a short blurb about the project….
“Our theme for the MTA Downtown Transfer Station is the Civil Rights Movement. It is the intention of MTA to name the facility after Rosa Parks, who in 1955 refused to give up her seat on the bus at Montgomery, Alabama. All works of art must interpret, in the style of each artist, some facet of the Civil Rights Movement.
Funding for this project is made possible by the United States Department of Transportation “Art in Transit” program.”
I have decided to depict the civil rights efforts of Dr. Hector Perez Garcia, who lived in Corpus Christi, TX. There were many hispanics who were involved in the civil rights movement, but I chose Dr. Garcia in memory of my Uncle Hector Garcia who recently past away from cancer.
