Peter Norton and Eileen Harris Norton, Lauren Miller, Doug Drake and Elizabeth Kirsch, generously donated artworks from their private collections to this exhibition. Cliff Benjamin at Western Project; Chris Acuna-Hansen and Blair Sands Hansen at Acuna-Hansen Gallery provided immense support of generosity coordinating the loan of artworks for the show.

I would also like to thank Pamela Bailey Lewis, former Director of the Wignall Museum, for her support and interest in the show during its
