Navigating, Lisa Grossman (born 1967)

Lisa Grossman’s smooth brushstrokes guide us along the meandering stillness of the Kansas River, also known as the Kaw, and into the orange hues of the horizon line at the top of the painting. Engulfed by the darkness of the land, the rays from the rising or setting sun glisten on the clear river water. Navigating offers a distinct aerial perspective of the river and is Grossman’s tribute to the land that sustains thousands of Kansans.
