Meditative Elements Produce Beneficial Effects was produced at the invitation of Anne Allen, curator for the Trinity Perspectives; Views of an Urban River exhibition at the Fort Worth Community Art Center. The exhibit was organized as a benefit for Streams and Valleys, Inc. and opens for Fall Gallery Night on September 12. See the link for other artists included in the exhibition.

I researched images of the river from the early 20th century and chose one of a Clear Fork flood in 1935 as my source for the river to bring together images of past & present/environment vs man. The figure in the painting, Woody Evans, exerts a calm and guiding force over the turbulent nature of the flood waters.
