William Coney (2022)
Hope and Justice
Pencil and paint
"The most iconic representation of hope and justice in the Rockies arrives in the songs of springtime. The mountain bluebird represents the end of winter's judgment and the promise of a new life."
— William Coney
Every year RBIJ commissions a justice-involved artist to design a holiday card on the theme "Hope and Justice". This year's card was created by William Coney, an artist currently incarcerated at Freemont Correctional Facility in Colorado.
A special thank you to the Denver University Prison Arts Initiative (DU PAI) for helping to facilitate this year's card.
