April 28, 2018 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Community Development Agency <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, M-25 <br />Santa Ana, 92701 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />This is a letter in support of Ann Phong who is applying for a grant to <br />create artwork to be displayed at the John Wayne Airport. <br />I have known Ann Phong for over twenty years both as an artist but <br />also as faculty at Cal Poly Pomona. She is a hardworking and talented <br />artist. Over the years she as exhibited her dedication to both <br />education and art as implements for social change. <br />Ann Phong has shown her work internationally and is well respected. <br />Her current works address the affects of human activity upon the <br />environment, especially the effects of poverty. Ocean and waterway <br />pollution is one of the biggest problems the world faces today and Ann <br />has been working with these issues in her artwork for many years. <br />Her work is emotional, affecting and informing. <br />This grant would help Ann execute her upcoming show at the John <br />Wayne Airport in 2019 with the acquisition of materials and also in the <br />research on global warming and current environmental issues. I have <br />no reservations in supporting Ann for a grant for this project. <br />If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at <br />batz3@earthlink.net <br />Sincerely <br />U - <br />Barbara A. Thomason <br />
