| Artist Statement | "'The Four Seasons - Summer, Spring, Fall & Winter' commissioned by the Oregon Arts Commission for the Department of Corrections celebrates the seasons with the use of texture and color. Each of the four seasons has five prints in specific colors and patterns, for a total of 20. These colors and patters are my personal ideas and concepts that parallel, but do not pretend to be an imitation of each season." Thompson, 1991 |
