I met my friend Sara when we were collegues in the Portland Public Schools where we taught at Harriet Tubman Middle School. We both left Orgeon, she returned to Alaska and I returned to New York. A couple of years after leaving Oregon Sara invited me to stay a summer in Alaska. She bought a house and I was in the middle of a Master's Program. After getting permission to transfer credits from University of Alaska to Lehman College in the Bronx I left for the summer.
Sara had a friend, who had a brother who owed a tour company in Alaska. He invited me to stop by and maybe a surprise to him I showed up with art gear in tow.
I made this print from a painting I did at the East Ramp of the International Airport in Fairbanks, Alaska.
