Cover Art: 9 Doves JES MCMILLAN (Dayton, OH) has been creating mosaics for over 22 years. In 2015, she founded the Mosaic Institute of Greater Dayton, whose mission is to inspire, empower and unify the community through art. Recent public art projects include the commemorative Historic Walking Tour mosaics in Miamisburg; the Unity Gem, created by over a thousand Daytonians during Art in the City; and the Bee Games in Haverstick of Kettering, Ohio. McMillan received degrees in Industrial Design and Applied Arts from Point Park University and The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. She is a powerful force in community connection and leading high quality, large scale collaborative works.
9 Doves was a therapeutic first response to the 2019 Oregon district tragedy. The many thoughts and feelings we experienced as a community and as individuals reside in this piece, a time capsule recording the intimate handwritten messages and prayers to nine murdered Daytonians. With pieces of our grief, we have honored those we have lost in the most beautiful way we could: together.
