Prototype of "Balance of Spirit" is one of 27 5' X 5' windows originally designed for public art in an airport competition. The design took its cues from geographical attributes of the region, diverse culture, sports and activity, the arts including architecture, literary, performing and visual arts. This one references the area's wine country, with a quote by Deganawidah, a Native American, that ran across three of the 5' X 5' windows. In the original design for the three windows, it read "All people shall love and live together in peace." The next quote referred to Clara Barton as "Angel of the Battlefield." In the transformation of the original design to an independent work of art, the word "not" was added to read "Shall not battle," stand alone words chosen by the artist. The thought goes well with a good glass a wine.
