MUSIC AND ART COLLABORATION

with artist SUSAN ROSE

Peace on the Prairie Project

“One is a songwriter. One is a painter.  Both are inspired by the beauty and serenity of the Flint Hills landscape.  Together they explore a common theme: the inner peace felt when seeing prairie sunsets, flowing streams, grasses, wildflowers, grazing cattle and wildlife.”

  • Emporia Gazette, Sept 4-5, 2021

In 2020-2021, unbeknownst to Annie, artist Susan Rose began creating paintings illustrating the lyrics of Annie’s recently-released song, “Peace on the Prairie.”  

Annie was thrilled to learn of the project, and eventually Susan completed a series of 12 paintings, bringing to life the lyrics in Annie's song.

This collaboration eventually resulted in: 

  • two public presentations by Susan and Annie, including a concert by Tallgrass Express – at Pioneer Bluffs and The Volland Store
  • several gallery showings 
  • a booklet telling the story of the collaboration, and matching the paintings with the lyrical lines they represent (CLICK BELOW to open)
  • a set of note cards with several of the paintings
  • a music & art video created by Dave Kendall of Prairie Hollow Productions CLICK  AT RIGHT to view)
