Installed May 28th, 2022 in the northeastern corner of Sunken Gardens on a limestone base, Imagination features a young girl drawing in a sketchbook. This piece was created to honor the late Beatrice "Mike" Seacrest. Her family commissioned Mary Buckman for the sculpture, to honor all of the work that Mike had done for the city of Lincoln over her long life. She died at the age of 97 in late December, 2017.
Mike was an avid supporter of both the arts and city parks. Seacrest was president of the Nebraska Art Association and a member of the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. She and her family were fundamental in the creation of Sunken Gardens as they were one of the families who dedicated the land.
