The show depicts creative and inspirational  views of death and bereavement in a variety of mediums. Conceived and created by artist, Liz Bishop, each artist has contributed work that depicts the stigma of death, a subject not often discussed in our society.  Ironically, the exhibit was rejected by two area gallery spaces until Liz approached the J. F. Thamm Gallery.   

Liz is a member of the Patriot Guard Riders with whom she rides on missions to honor soldiers killed in action to commemorate veterans.  She is intimately apart of many military funerals and helps veterans and their loved ones plan ahead by taking responsibility for their eventual passing. Liz, an artist working in pottery,  felt the best way to honor the originality of an individual's life was through a personalized handmade urn.  After having several close friends and loved ones pass away,  Liz began designing and creating what she calls "Spirit Vessels" for the departed.
