Less Litter More Life

Artist Bio: My father was a high school art teacher, and I have been painting most of my life. I have a degree in history, biology, and most of the requirements for a degree in art, plus an M.S. in Psychology. I recently retired from a career in public schools. I work on conservation projects and building paddling trails in the Arkansas Delta. I recently have taken up painting again, and I have become serious about improving my skills and producing more work. My focus is on realist nature studies inspired by the Delta area.

Design Concept: Mother otter holding her baby in a wetland scene. Borders with otter tracks leading in and out of the drain.

​Type Flow

Artist Bio: Little Rock native Patricia Graves is a freelance graphic designer and design teacher at Bryant High School. She loves the mixture of natural beauty and city culture that Little Rock has to offer. Her passion is sharing the love of art and design with others. With each project, she hopes to make the world a more interesting place.

Design Concept: As a graphic design teacher, I love lettering. This design ebbs and flows like a stream over the drain cover. The water coming out of the O in “into” turns into the Arkansas River with a small illustration of Pinnacle Mountain at the bottom.
