Speaker Series: Loess Hills & Scenic Byway Art

Kathy Fiscus will guide our exploration of Iowa's Loess Hills through art and storytelling using the lenses of archaeological, geological and fossil records! 

Kathy devotes much of her time researching and painting the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway from the perspective of archaeological, geological and fossil records. Most of her Loess Hills paintings depict 13,000-5,000 years ago. She also paints nature scenes including sunsets and sunrises, trees and Iowa landscapes.
