2	MAC-148	Acrylic	Among Friends by artist Chaveevah Banks Ferguson. Among Friends was a Catherine Haynes Memorial Quasi-Endowed Fund Purchase Award. The artwork offers lengthy colors in a variety of bright and thickened opacity. The movement is not a standard brushstroke, yet intentional, with dancing notes allowing the viewer to feel the intention. Each piece narrates a sentimental meaning from herself to the audience. Originally from Chicago, she moved to Iowa and finished her BA and MA at the University of Northern Iowa. She supports the betterment of Waterloo, Iowa, as a co-host of a weekly broadcast to share the positive momentum of people and businesses in the community. "The piece Among Friends is a reminder of those summer nights in the backyard with friends. I know that Rod Library is a perfect space for these feelings. I feel honored to have my work on the walls of a library," she stated.

4	MAC-16	Acrylic, Charcoal	Black Magic by artist Chris Vance. 2014 Catherine Haynes Memorial Quasi-Endowed Fund Purchase Award. Vance is a Bondurant [IA] artist who has created personal iconography. The art is rooted in a blend of cartoons, music, graffiti, and skateboard culture. “Seeds of Fruit” blog interview: “I have four kids, and I’ve been influenced by skateboards since I was a kid, plus graffiti, cartoons, and the whole Ren and Stimpy type culture. I guess that cartoon characters aren’t Tom and Jerry, but they’re a little darker than that. And I’ve been inspired by how my kids draw things — sketchy, but an interesting line quality happens when they’re unaware of making it perfect. All those things intrigue me, crammed into my head and spit back out!” Chris Vance graduated from Iowa State University in 2000 with a BFA. He was influenced by the work of Richard Diebenkorn (American, 1922-93) and the abstract expressionists (Mid-20th century American art movement).
