"I spend an extended period of time in the Big Bend region every spring, and this past year I spent a lot of time particularly in the state park. This view of the Rio Grande from River Road took my breath away. When Shelley approached me about a design for the year-end campaign featuring the river, this place immediately came to mind. While driving along the river it is impossible not to notice the abundance of green life that surrounds the river in stark contrast with the exposed rock of the mountains in the distance. While designing this scene for the bandana, I also wanted to portray this through paint and embroidery; the magic river reflecting the sky and drawing life to close to it, like fans crowding the stage at a concert."
