ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Yellow Cow 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. This piece is part of a series called "Ranch Work", completed while vonRosenstiel taught at Deep Springs College in California. The artist chose to depict a cow after finding the horn-shaped arm of a captain's chair.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Central Kitsap School District.
