A unique-to-Ada art work is now available as a copy, thanks to the wood crafting of Dr. Les Thede.
“Sunburst over Northern,” a wooden sculpture, was originally dedicated on March 22, 2019, in the atrium of the ONU Dicke College of Business Administration.
He created the wooden sculpture as a memorial to his wife, Diane. She retired as an administrative assistant at ONU after working there 26 years. She was a member of the ONU Women’s Book Club and Bridge Club. She died May 1, 2018.
The retired ONU professor has created smaller versions of the art work, which are now available at Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St., Ada.
