Keeping watch over the library, sculpture Guardian by artist Joan Peekema now resides on the second floor by the southeast staircase. The large impressive stainless steel creation was kindly donated by the artist and her husband in 2003. Beyond this generous gift, the art collection of Clark College is enhanced with additional contributions from the Peekemas. Beyond these donations the couple, dedicated to helping young artists flourish at Clark College, gave a 100,000 dollar gift to the Clark College Foundation. As a result, an endowed scholarship for art students, named in Joan Peekema’s honor was established.
