Many people won’t recognize Patty Griffin by name, but they would recognize her songs. My favorite of the Grammy award winner’s hits is Let Him Fly, which was made popular by the Dixie Chicks. It’s that song which compelled me to use the Maine tags that feature birds.

There are 32 license plates in this piece; the H in Let Him Fly is the Michigan tag. The mosaic in the middle is created from license plates and represents her album cover.
