Route 66 has long been known as "The Mother Road." Sculptor Kathleen Scarboro captures that image and many others visions associated with the long, lost (but not forgotten) road.

But the sculpture is only half of the artwork. A detailed mosaic pedestal is the work of Lead Mosaic Artist Sharka Glet and Mosaic Assistant Shane Jackson.
