“Raccoons”

Of course, there are other methods which are visually prominent which provide an active role in healing and some of them are the artworks by Dan Knepper that grace the walls of the Springboro, Huber Heights and the eight-story tower lobbies and offices. “I am much honored to have thirty-seven in their collection,” said artist Knepper.
