"Fields of Gold" is an original two-panel multimedia painting by renowned Bend artist and Jesuit grandparent Marlene Grant. A former textile and interior designer, Grant is also a breast cancer survivor. During treatment, she turned to painting and it was through the experience she learned to put her soul onto canvas. Today, Grant's work is displayed in showrooms from New York to San Francisco. These panels are being sold as a unit and are valued at $7,200. They will be on display in the lobby of the DeSmet Office through the May 2 live auction. For more information about the artist, visit http://marlenegrant.com/index.html.
