Navigating, Lisa Grossman (born 1967)

In reference to this work and her other river paintings, Lisa Grossman states, “Much of my work is inspired by the Kansas River, the longest prairie-based river system in the world. It winds its way east... passes through my home of Lawrence, Kansas…. The river has allowed me to experience this place from various perspectives—from its shores, sandbars, and riparian trails, from my kayak, and from small planes and my drone. It continuously lures me into a process of discovery and adventure.”
