It is an honor and a privilege to be selected as the artist for the commemorative Inauguration poster for Alaska’s new governor. We will be attending the Inauguration ceremony December 4, held at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks. The posters will be given to attendees.
Governor Palin selected the image “Rainbow of Promise†for several reasons. One, it featured a local mountain, Pioneer Peak, a symbol of strength, and second for the image of the rainbow that she saw as a symbol of the promise of a better future. Sarah Palin is the first woman and the youngest person to be elected governor of Alaska. She is full of energy and ideas and has a huge grass roots base of support.
It has been fun to be included in the Inauguration planning and we are looking forward to attending the ceremony. I will post some photos and write about the happenings surrounding the event when we return.
