I recently had the opportunity to create a print for Sally Centigrade Art Gallery’s Travel By Screen series where a screen printed poster is made to represent an area code in each state. I live in Iowa's 641 area code which is mostly rural countryside with small-to-medium sized towns sprinkled throughout.

Winds of Change depicts a tired, old Studebaker truck that's been "put out to pasture" juxtaposed with a wind farm — an increasingly common sight in rural Iowa. The state bird, a Goldfinch, is perched on the hood ornament surveying the area. It's intended to pay tribute to the old fossil-fuel workhorse while welcoming the transition to new forms of clean, renewable energy.
