Fair Park is the home of the State Fair Grounds, located in Dallas Texas, and is one of the largest collections of Art Deco as a continuing element in the USA.  Built in the mid 1930's to celebrate the centennial of Statehood, artists from around the world contributed to creating the beauty that we know as Fair Park.  By 1990 the buildings and sculptures had fallen into disrepair, and became the subject of the series entitled, State of Decay.  This group of Drawings, etchings, monotypes, and paintings, were used by the Friends of Fair Park as part of their fundraising efforts for restoration.  In 2006, All of these works, that survived the flood of 1995, were exhibited at the Women's Museum in conjunction with a collection depicting the Texas  Regional works by woman artists of the early 20th century.
