Description
This magnificent mixed media 1950’s school bus is 16″ x 20″ created by artist Dana Helton.
It has been framed in oak by artist Johnny Jackson.
Carroll Co. School Bus No. 16
Richly colored, mixed media mosaic containing stained glass, lamp parts, auto parts, jewelry, sheet copper and copper wire. Creation of this art consumed more than 200 hours of dedication by artist Dana Helton of Powder Springs, GA.
This mosaic celebrates its varied roles and contributions to the community it has served since its purchase over 70 years ago. Transitioning from Carroll Co. school transportation, to a private Art studio and currently a woodworkers safe storage space, is proof of its’ resilience.
School Bus No. 16 stands prominently with purpose, conveying a sense of history and nostalgia. Portions of the original bright yellow color mingling with a multitude of well-earned colors of rust, pine tar and tree lichen. The iconic red “Stop” sign extends proudly echoing decades of journeys and memories.
