Each Arts Walk, an artist is selected to create an original work of art to serve as the cover piece for event publications. This fall, the featured artist is Eileen Bochsler with her piece "Forest Awakening" in encaustic and mixed media. "My work is inspired by nature; not just the beauty I experience visually, but the serenity, wildness, and ferocity I experience emotionally. Each one of my pieces is a unique expression of that experience."
