About the Cover . . . . 

“Sunday Evening”

Original Art by Rayshaun McNary • Cover Design by Trevor Tidwell

The captivating cover art titled “Sunday Evening” was crafted by Rayshaun McNary and is a featured piece in The Birth of an Artist exhibition presented by Cutwell 4 Kids (C4K) on January 27.

This local non-profit arts organization is dedicated to fostering and championing the unique self-awareness and growth of every child through artistic expression.

When we approached Anthony Tidwell, founder of  C4K, and asked him to provide us with artwork from the show for our cover, he recommended Trevor Tidwell, an outstanding graphic designer responsible for this year’s poster.

Trevor then skillfully designed our cover using McNary’s artwork, showcasing the evident artistic talent that runs in the Tidwell family.

Here we proudly present not only our cover but also the original artwork by Rayshaun. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Anthony, Trevor, and Rayshaun, we are delighted to showcase another exceptional cover for the magazine.

Their artistic contributions continue to elevate the visual appeal of our publication. With sincere appreciation, we kick off our 32nd year, grateful for the ongoing support and creative brilliance that enriches our journey.

Happy New Year from The Springs Magazine Team!
