Artist and educator Katherine Devine lends us her talented eye for an incredible cover re-creation in honor of our 50th anniversary.
Which iconic Roanoker cover did you choose and why?
I chose the Fall cover 1977 because I love all fashion!
Briefly describe the process of recreating this cover and how you chose to interpret it.
I was inspired to use a young model in modern teen wear centered between two icons of the current Roanoke cityscape. I used the same pose as the model from the past, but in a more modern graphic style.

Ashe Coleman was Katherine’s model for her cover re-creation.
