Dedication To the Artist
The Spirits of the Land Foundation wishes to thank Dorothy Sullivan
for designing and painting the Foundation's logo. The logo receives
high praise from everyone who sees it. Dorothy Sullivan's roots reach
deeply into Oklahoma soil. The award-winning artist is not only a
native, she also is part Cherokee with ancestors who came from Georgia
on the Trail of Tears. Her pride in that heritage is explicit in her
paintings. Dorothy was able to translate a dream of Randy Ziesenis into
the reality of the "Spirit of the Land" logo.
