This is the final Symphony in the Flint Hills! For the last twenty years of the event I’ve contributed artwork to their benefit art auction and this year is not different. “Across the Prairie Watershed” is my entry and it is an oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches, painted earlier this year.

I’ve always said, every Kansan (and everyone!) should go at least once. Now’s your chance! The mission is to “heighten appreciation and knowledge of the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie.”

The event is in Chase County, Kansas, Saturday, June 14, 2025, and online bidding for the art auction and the in-person exhibit will be Saturday, April 26, through Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

The Sacred Red Rock Project artist workshops were held Sunday, July 23, 2023, in Lawrence’s Robinson Park, a pocket park near the Kansas River Bridge downtown. There was a morning and evening session, hosted by Sydney Pursel, with the Spencer Museum of Art, and muralist and community organizer, Dave Loewenstein, in conjunction with the Sacred Red Rock Project. Sunday was the last day anyone could be close to the rock before fencing was installed Monday in preparation for its move to the Kaw Nation’s Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park near Council Grove, KS. Artist’s were invited to document the rock and setting and Grossman did a couple of watercolors and an oil sketch. She also share maps of the Kansas river to show the original location of the rock before it was removed in 1929.
