Kansan sculptor sees White House exhibit and tea with Clinton
Lawrence artist Doug Coffin, 51, featured in an outdoor White House garden exhibit of Native American sculpture, says the moment of meeting Hillary Rodham Clinton and viewing his Earth Messenger Totem, a 28 foot steel work, sank in. The exhibit runs six months with 12 artists. Clinton hosted a garden tea and read a speech honoring the artists. Coffin, a KU alum, has works in Lawrence and Santa Fe and has counted Martina Navratilova and Robert Redford among admirers.
