Unique-to-Ada art work now available as a copy

Les Thede's "Sunburst over Northern" wooden sculptures now at Gallery for the Arts
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 23, 2020

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.

Dr. Adriane Thompson Bradshaw, ONU’s vice president for student affairs and dean of students, sang the Star Spangled Banner before the nationally broadcast game and delivered a magnificent rendition. For ONU Bengals fans it was undoubtedly the high point of the evening, as their team fell to their in-state rival 35-30, but for that moment, even the most die-hard fans were united.
