From January 21, 2023 post.

Our public art selection committee has chosen artist Karen Yank as the finalist for the Sunport Boulevard Extension Public Art Project! She is the recipient of the 2022 New Mexico Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts and has created more than 50 large-scale public sculptures to date.

Karen’s works around Albuquerque include a design on the pedestrian bridge over I-40 near Coors and a 20-foot sculpture at CNM’s main campus.

“I wanted to create this little desert primrose, it’s a little fragile flower that grows from the crevices of rock, and it’s so resilient and I think it represents the resilience of the school [CNM],” Karen said.

Thanks for the feature, KOB 4! Learn more below:
