Rooted in Love
This piece reflects the grassroots creativity and organized movements that have revitalized the Kansas City community, bringing new energy and vibrance. The city skyline symbolizes prosperity, while surrounding fields and sprouting seeds represent renewal, nourishment, and resilience. At the center, a reflective heart mosaic unites these contrasts, celebrating hope, individuality, and the spirit of community.

Artist Spotlight

Marie Tabler, William C. Meyer, Audrey Tabler
I am a painter, glass artist and designer whose work blends bold color, organic form, and narrative depth to explore themes of collaboration and interdependence. Drawing from my Midwest roots and background in illustration and multimedia design, I create sculptural pieces that evoke the dynamic energy of individuals coming together as a unified whole. My art invites viewers to reflect on their role within a collective, celebrating the quiet power each shape—and person—holds in shaping a greater story.
