In Lake Pool and Fairview parks, our young artists are getting to be old pros. Just ask visiting sculptor Kristen Cliffel and multimedia artist Wendy Mahon, who brought ribbons and collage scraps for fanciful fluttering butterflies, and gemstones to decorate picture frames extraordinaire. In just minutes, the crew was hard at work . . . and could barely be convinced when the time came to pack up. Of course, a silly opportunity to say "cheese" never hurts . . . We're always so sad when it's time for these guys to fly away. Luckily, it's not for long; we know they'll be back soon!
