GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A family bond is being strengthened thanks to ArtPrize.

Frances Williams is 90 years old, but she and her grandson, Derek Bruinsma, spent three months creating an entry to this year's ArtPrize.

"This Land Was Made For You And Me" is outside the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. Their families have been traveling to national parks for decades, so they created a small painting for each one.  Bruinsma then built the display when they were finished.
