When it comes to Regionalist and Social Realist art, two of the best artists representing these styles are Nebraska’s own Dale Nichols and Terence Duren. Ashley designed and laid out this 152-page hardcover book of full-color artwork. In 2019, Worthy Rivals won the MPMA Publication Design Competition Award.

The book offers a glimpse into the lives of these two remarkable artists, showing the rich history of American Scene Painting forged on the rolling fields of Nebraska in the 20th century.
