IN THE RUN

06.2024
This sculpture was designed by Annie, and fabricated by the Max Carey Blacksmith Guild for the ‘Forged’ Exhibit from Midland Center for the Arts at Chippewa Nature Center.

“In the Run depicts two of Annie’s favorite things in nature here in Michigan: water and fish. Fishing is a multi generational tradition that her grandpa passed on to her dad, her dad taught her mom, her parents passed on to her, and Annie and her husband, Jerod, have passed on to their children, where they can enjoy nature and spend quality time together.”

Phoenix Community Farm, Harvest Mural
This mural was created for Phoenix Community farm at Windover High School. Students of Windover and community members were invited to help paint this mural as a part of Midland County’s Neighboring Week and Phoenix Community Farm’s annual harvest celebration! Community members of all ages participated in painting in the flowers, vegetables, sun, and sky.

This colorful mural depicts many different things that are grown in the garden for our community. Phoenix Community Farm serves the Midland community with not only fresh produce, but also with education about growing, harvesting, preparing, eating, & preserving produce. This mural is meant to represent the work they do and the bounty they provide to the community through the hard work of the growing season.
