Symphony in the Flint Hills celebrated its 20th anniversary and hosted its Grande Finale “Prairie Sunset” Event on June 14, 2025, in Chase County, Kansas. Lisa contributed artwork to their benefit art auction every year and “Across the Prairie Watershed” was my entry for 2024. The painting was an oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches, painted earlier in the year. It received “BEST IN SHOW” by juror, Diana Werts.
The Symphony in the Flint Hills mission has always been to “heighten appreciation and knowledge of the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie.” The annual Field Journal has always been integral to the event and celebrates the Flint Hills ecoregion and culture through art, science, history, and essays. Lisa’s work was often included in the publication.
Online bidding for the art auction and the in-person exhibit ran from Saturday, April 26, through Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
