Comment: The Stanley Basin of Idaho is the source of the Great Salmon River. Standing at the sandbar
of this “gentle stream,” one could not imagine that it will grow to become a river that they say has no

return. For those who embark upon the waters can’t be guaranteed that the returning trip is even
possible. Its name, The Salmon River of No Return signifies its ruggedness and difficulties along its way.
Its canyons are deep, but it finally joins up with the Snake River 425 miles later. My painting also
suggests the sisters standing side by side-soon to be going their separate ways: The Beginning of No
Return from what they’ve shared to diverse interests and goals.
