About the Artwork
Pink Horse/Elephant is part of artist Liza vonRosenstiel's body of works that combine images of animals with found objects to create sculptural icons of each animal. Part of a series called "Ranch Work", completed while vonRosenstiel taught at Deep Springs College in California, this piece depicts one of the horses stabled at the college, and is embellished by imagined elephant figures.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Central Kitsap School District.
