This book contributes to an understanding of the creative life of one artist, Pat Musick, over a forty-year period. Photographs document her drawings, paintings and sculpture as she develops from two to three dimensional considerations. Essays by twelve museum directors and curators accompany the images. Musick, whose work is in the permanent collections of forty-eight museums and public spaces in the United States, has an MA and PhD from Cornell, has taught at the University level and written three books. Her work has progressed from an expressionistic, figurative style to abstract. The current work of wood, steel and stone reflects harmony and peace in the environment.
