A Sparkling Vision

A Thousand Voices by Dorothy Fagan

I attended the annual Board Retreat for The Williamsburg Land Conservancy on February 9, 2008. Part of the Board's work during its' retreat included the creation of a vision statement. During a lively discussion, the following words were simply jotted on a placement and shared with the group.

A world in which the developer and the environmentalist dance on the harvest moon . . . Where children run through meadows and fully understand the value of clean air and rivers . . . Where the citizens of our community continue to salute the majesty of this area as a result of our conserved and protected land.
~ Joe Harrow, Williamsburg Land Conservancy Board Member

The painting shown here is my own work which enabled me to see the vision for this project. In those Thousand Voices, one will be the piece of artwork which truly captures the vision written here. It will be selected from entries and featured prominently here and in my book, and sold as bookplates from this exhibition. I look forward to reviewing the entries and discovering who created it! ~ Dorothy Fagan
