As many of you know my Mom, Deb Jones Yensen, has been attending BSU to achieve her Master of Fine Arts. I am extremely proud of her for overcoming the daunting task of going back to school and completing the amount of work it takes to achieve such a goal.
This first piece is a collaborative work which she and five other artists produced after reading an article on what it takes to feed our world. My Mom produced the engraving of the cow. Below is a quote from her.
"I engraved the cow. We had to read an article about feeding the world; the article stated that most grain and corn is used to feed cattle, for people to eat, instead of feeding people the grain and corn."
This second piece is a part of the Oregon Ink Spot exchange project and is entitled "crocus".
The work she produces is very close to nature and has a lot of empathy and sensitivity. I am excited to see what she will produce next. Keep up the great work Mom!
