THE  DOOR PANELS
   Glen Russell, Whidbey Island resident and artist, was commissioned by the   
   Coupeville Arts Center to carve these door panels for the Island County Historical Society   
   as part of the Arts Center's artist-in-residency project.   

   A joint committee selected Russell's proposal in June of 1988 and after 700 hours   
   of design and carving time the doors were dedicated in June of 1991.   

   Russell's historically accurate images capture the courage and spirit of the 1850's Whidbey Island cultures.    
   These natural Cherry wood panels, carved entirely with hand tools will mellow and darken with age.
