Another longtime member of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee is Pennsylvania artist Jeanne Stevens-Sollman, who was interviewed for a story
by a reporter for the Centre Daily Times. Here's an excerpt. See the complete article online, and be sure to watch the accompanying video.

Jeanne Stevens-Sollman was at one of those swinging medallic art conferences that you hear so much about, where the shop talk flows like
champagne and bedtime is but the faintest whisper of a suggestion.
“The dialogue can go on to 2 a.m. in the morning, just about metals, about design,” Stevens-Sollman, an artist working in Bellefonte, said.
She was doing some light grumbling about the state of the state quarters, which aside from one or two exceptions appeared to her to be entirely
overwrought, a bunch of images and information smashing up against each other without much room leftover for clarity.
Now in the middle of her second four-year term, she’s might be the only person in a room full mostly of historians that looks at designing a coin
in the same way that a poet might approach a haiku.
“You have a small space, you have to put a lot of information in it concisely,” Stevens-Sollman said.
