About the art: “This photograph was taken early on a late August morning in Wessington, SD. Our wagon train was on the way to Huron, SD, to celebrate the South Dakota State Fair’s 125th anniversary. We had camped at the ballparks in Wessington, and this sunrise that morning was breathtaking. The photo depicts the beauty and vastness of rural South Dakota.”

About the artist: Sissy Schneiderman grew up surrounded with cameras and photographs. Her family owned a small-town newspaper business. She studied photography at East Texas State
University but decided to take a semester off in 1986 where she embarked on a six-month, four mile-per-hour adventure for 3,200 miles, and found her love for wagon training. Though grateful for her high school dark room lessons from her brother, she embraced digital photography in the early 2000s. Sissy continues to photograph wagon trains whenever possible.
