I look forward to displaying these in my office throughout the next year. Our state is blessed with talented Hoosier women and I want them all to continue to share their artistic talents with others."

* and Torri Williams, Community Organizer, Marion.
?The artwork we receive every year provides a bit of happiness to all in my office. Art has a unique ability to draw people together in conversation,? Mitchell said. ?I love the opportunity to showcase Indiana women artists in the Statehouse, and to give these talented Hoosiers well-deserved recognition and appreciation.?
The 44 pieces of artwork will be displayed in the following offices:
