Golden Dragon

The Golden Dragon twists and turns atop this restaurant along Route 66 in Tucumcari, NM.

Cheryl says of her work "For decades these colorful, brightly lit, sometimes flashing works of art have invited us off the highways to diners, gas stations, motels and businesses.  Travelers on the open roads of America were lured to new places and new experiences that added more adventure to their travel experience or just a place to rest after a long day’s journey."

This piece is part of our Tar, Time and Travel exhibit, meditations on the mother road.
