Grant Wood
Grant Wood had been an active painter. He started very young. Throughout his life, he hired out his talents to many Iowa-based businesses as a
steady source of income. This included painting advertisements, sketching rooms
of a mortuary house for promotional flyers and, in one case, designing the
corn-themed decor for the dining room of a hotel. In
addition, his 1928 trip to Munich was to oversee the making of the stained glass windows he had
designed for a Veterans Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids. I choose Grant Wood because he started off in Iowa and I thought that was cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Wood
