Granger's Bounty, 2003

David Fichter

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In Granger's Bounty, David Fichter depicts the community of Granger in the Yakima Valley of Central Washington – including its culture, landscape, history, and traditions. Images include the Granger area as seen from an overlook on Cherry Hill, the Cherry Festival parade, fishing, picnicking, Mexican-American and Yakima cultural identity, children playing, harvesting fruits and hops, and (best of all) children riding a dinosaur.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Granger School District.
