Johanna Smith: Public Art Project

Johanna is beaming. How could she not, the sun is shining, her beautiful daughter Rebecca is helping her, and the Mills Lawn School Sign is really taking shape. I could tell Johanna was so proud of the Mills Lawn students who helped by the way she excitedly showed me all the pieces they had added. Look at this! Look at this! Look at this! I felt I'd been on a wonderful visual adventure, and seeing her joy and the sign gave me joy too.

To learn how this project got started visit Johanna's blog entry here.
