Finally found it

I finally found the information regarding one of the many artists at the National Harbor. Cheryl Foster created the cut glass mural panels, Maryland’s Bounty, along the steps that lead down to the Awakening sculpture.

This is a very inspirational video that I found on Roadtrip Nation: Discovering Your Path in Life/webpage. Cheryl Foster describes her inspiration as an artist and how she started out on a different route.

I really like her work and find her incredibly talented. Although I’m a mural painter, I am most appreciative of how she’s able to translate the mural into cut glass — even using natural objects, such as oyster shells and crab shells embedded into her artwork. You’ll have to see and feel for yourself — go to National Harbor and/or check out the close up on the Authentic Art Visions blog.

This will be a happy and hard weekend. My mother is in town but my friend is in the hospital. It is so weird to sense an exhilaration of mixed emotions simultaneously. It’s unsteadying (a made up but descriptive word).
