Located at Idelwild Park pond in Reno NV, three massive sculptures of rainbow trout sit in beautiful wonder. The artist Eileen Gay and others, created a masterpiece of mosaic simplicity of color and truth of her description of wildlife. As the rainbow trout have an iconic depiction for this area, it allows the high desert of Washoe County live up to it's pristine wildlife.
Similar to the very talented Maya Lin and her architectural designs of the Vietnam Memorial and the Civil Rights piece, Eileen Gay utilized her surroundings and incorporated the landscape to add addition value to her brightly colored arrangement of textile art.
