Family was important to Moses. His sister Chris is in the front row in the orange dress. Her husband Dan is in the back row second from left. And who are all the others? These are Moses’ nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. They all traveled to Lincoln from the Chicago area to pay tribute.

 

The urn with Moses’ ashes was created by Jason Hoffman. Jason also did an urn for Moses’ wife Polly when she passed away.

 

This portrait of Mr. Lincoln is made of paint chips from Sherwin Williams, each with the color imprinted on the chip. What a unique way to create a work of art.

This is one of the early renderings that eventually led to the “Cow in the Corn” sculpture on Sangamon Street.

 

Moses always hoped that Alice Walton would visit the Lincoln Art Institute. He even sent her an invitation at Crystal Bridges. Moses, Mitch, and Jason did a road trip to Crystal Bridges. The small original at top hangs in the Jason Hoffman Studios.

 

Moses had a deep faith and expressed it in this painting.

 

Moses was a renaissance artist. His talent extended to sculpture and even poetry.
