Various vermin vigorously vanish from Virgil the vibrant vulture’s views of the vast valley.

THE PERSONAL STORY:

Along with a jeep, mo loves the old VW vans and this one is a mix of years with all her favorite features !! The McGee kids all had a VW bug as their first car and ggma still drives a VW !!! The surfing mole is in reference to California though mo first rode a wave off the coast of New Jersey. The pole vaulting mouse goes back once again to mo’s track and field days !! Lauren was also a sprinter in high school and pole vaulted her first two seasons. We can not forget the volcano off in the distance. Lauren originally wanted to a volcanologist and still has a love of volcanos.

THE ART STORY:

The VW mixture was fun . . . . mo’s first hybrid so to speak.

ENVIRONMENT: the vast valley with a volcano back in the distance on the

horizon
