Garden Art

It's about time I shared with you Rick's latest creations.  In April, he was invited to participate in a show at Artique, in downtown Anchorage, focusing on the garden.  He created two amazing pieces of garden art, which I'm happy to say, sold very quickly!  Then he made two more.

and another, photographed at home

There was one more that I don't think I have a photo of.  What you may not be able to see in these photos is that each sculpture has a small insect that Rick created from reclaimed parts and other stuff.

He has since created two more pieces for the upcoming show at the botanical gardens.  Will share photos of those later!

Alaska Botanical Garden Gala

This past Thursday evening was the annual gala at the Alaska Botanical Gardens in Anchorage.  While we always go the the craft show following the gala, we had never attended the gala before.  This year, Rick invited himself was invited to submit artwork as part of the fund raising event opens with the Thursday evening gala.

Rick submitted two pieces of garden art. Big pieces.

'Trimorphic' sold (YAY!) very early on Thursday evening, to a tremendous supporter of the botanical gardens  Rick will deliver and install the piece one day next week.

'To the Point' is still for sale and hopefully it will sell before the end of the weekend.  If not, it will look great in our yard!

Our friend Cindy organizes this amazing event every year.  At least half of the proceeds of the art sold goes to support the gardens, which are a real treasure to the city of Anchorage.  Thank you Cindy!
