ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Palouse Spirits is part of artist Kay Buckner's series of wall rugs and paintings that depict the colorful and majestic landscape of the Palouse region in Eastern Washington. She notes "the sweeping panorama of the Palouse has romantic appeal for me. Born and raised in the city, my earliest views were limited by building walls, paved streets, and bridge spans. Consequently, I am touched by a landscape so dominated by spectacular vistas."
