My inspiration for Eye on the Prize came from my childhood memories. I started fishing when I was a little girl. The good ol’Yellowstone River was out my back door! Fishing is a family thing. My mama, dad, younger brother and myself would spend countless hours sitting on the banks of the Yellowstone all summer long. Although, I have never caught a a rainbow…it’s on my bucket list! Since I haven’t had the opportunity to catch a rainbow, I decided to make one!
Look closely and you will see that the rainbow has his eye on his prize, but as a fisherman, that rainbow is my prize. I’m keeping my Eye on the Prize!

Another Yellowstone River inspiration. The blue heron can be seen along the banks and in the backwaters of the Yellowstone. With the long legs and S curve neck, I have always been intrigued and enjoyed observing it’s natural behavior. I wanted to honor this foul-fisherman by centering all attention on him. He’s more than a heron, he’s Mr. Blue.
