LONE STAR AWARD

"She Wore Yellow for Hope"

by Melanie M Brannan

Artist Inspiration: "She was quiet, rooted in strength. Her legacy: environmental and cultural; believing that beauty is essential to life. As a child, I was drawn to the wildflowers she championed. Even near the end, greatly disabled, she insisted on visiting a museum—testimony to her devotion to experiencing  beauty."
