Portraits of the Fallen For most of his career, Edmonds artist Michael Reagan drew life-like portraits of the rich and famous; movie stars, sports figures, six presidents, the Pope. But several years ago, he started drawing pictures of American soldiers killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and offering them free to the families. The artist—who's also a Vietnam vet—feels this gift to the loved ones left behind is a kind of healing, not only for the families, but for himself.

Poet in the Board Room
Imagine a ballerina twirling around the office, a painter sketching next to the water cooler, a poet in the board room. That’s the sort of dream Mimi Allin had. She believes art in corporate offices should be more than what hangs on the walls. So she convinced a large firm to “adopt” her. |

Welcome to Artscape
KPLU’s weekly arts feature! Every Monday on KPLU you’ll hear stories about the world of art including theater, dance, music, and the visual arts. Our goal is for you to experience the arts through the power of radio and to hear from the people who create them.
Over the years, you’ve told us that you value the arts and want more stories about all the colorful and exciting things happening in our region. Artscape is KPLU’s way of answering that request. In fact, we believe arts stories are a great way to start your week, so we’re airing them every Monday on KPLU’s Morning Edition at 5:30 and 7:30 and again on All Things Considered. We also invite you to visit this web page anytime to download any and all of our Artscape stories.
Help us shape our coverage. Please send us your ideas and feedback.
— Erin Hennessey, Artscape Editor
