Rise returned from Masic, our powder-coat supplier, donned in a deep translucent and luscious red.  The red together with brushed stainless steel is exquisite and completes my vision for the sculpture.  To get some good shots of her we took her to our neighborhood park and waited for those magical moments of evening light.

This winged woman with her angelic presence is floating upwards, rising to meet the potential that lies within.

Strong Body.  Open Mind.  Full Spirit.

The Arts Commission of Bremerton, WA recently commissioned us to create a sculpture as part of their city’s downtown revitalization vision.  They commissioned seven sculptures, one of which is ours, to be placed along Pacific Avenue, the main walking corridor downtown . We are creating a pedestrian-scale version of our existing sculpture called Despite the Rain.  

            Despite the Rain - an ode to the Pacific Northwest weather (and not letting it get the best of you!)

The original version stands at 17″ high and is made from silicon bronze.  For Bremerton we will create a 5-6 foot version in stainless steel.  We will add color to the umbrella and the puddle. 

We are currently in contract negotiations and hope to begin work within a month.  Stay tuned for progress on this exciting project for us.
