Trails West! ® Chooses Artwork to represent “170 Years of Innovation”

The Allied Arts Council is proud to announce the winner of the 2013 Trails West!® Artwork Competition,  Fran Texeira. With over forty submissions, it was hard for the committee to choose which piece of artwork would embody the festival for its 21^st year, and theme “170 Years of Innovation.”

For this particular competition, Texeira was inspired by the theme of the festival itself.  “I incorporated an old, make-believe time machine. The machine is churning out a myriad of colorful bubbles representing a joyful celebration and the passing of many years,” said Texeira.

Fran Texeira is the mother of three adult boys and the proud grandmother of one beautiful girl. Currently Texeira resides in St. Joseph, MO. Texeira graduates in December with a BFA in Graphic Design from Missouri Western State University, and is excited to embark on a new chapter in her life.
