Ceramics at the Columbia Conservation area

Spent Saturday morning cycling near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Friend, Catherine Magel, did the ceramic art work for the seven informational kiosks set throughout the park so I though we would take a look. Nice work. Each mosaic reflects the information for that station so they cover a wide range, mostly based on the river and the land. Personal favorite was the fields of wheat but the turtle also very interesting. The details are created by hand, like the sections of the turtles shell. The rest is done with 1 inch tiles, some imported, some created in Catherines studio. Wonderful color. Each kiosk unique, some with multiple sections. Great place to cycle, new blacktop. Also took trail along river.
