In
1994, artist Donna Billick was commissioned to create a park bench
by the Pleasant Hill District Arts Commission. The result was the
delightful Interactive Fire Engine Bench, originally situated in the
playground of Pleasant Hill Park. It is made of durable red ceramic
tile, concrete and reinforced steel. It resembles a child's toy fire
engine, with actual fire engine parts incorporated into the design.
Not only a highly regarded artist, Donna is also a first response
EMT, firefighter and mother. She incorporates her incredible artistic
talents, first hand professional experience and parental concerns
into her functional art pieces.
