Tree, by Bethanne Anderson, is a mixed media work on panel. Using a tree as the central focal point, Anderson draws attention to and celebrates the natural environment and moniker of Boise, the City of Trees. A fitting start to the City’s first collection of 2D and 3D works, Tree was the first artwork accessioned into the Boise Visual Chronicle.

The Boise Visual Chronicle (BVC) is a city-owned collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and other works depicting life in Boise. The collection provides a rich visual document of Boise’s changing landscape, people and perspectives. The BVC also forms a unique portrait of the artistic vitality and evolving perceptions of artists in the region. With original funding from the Greater Boise Auditorium District, additional works are acquired or commissioned and funded by Boise City and Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC). Works from the collection are exhibited at the Boise Centre on the Grove, Boise City Hall, CCDC’s offices and the Boise Airport.
