The bat skeleton print is a softground etching on Magnani Pescia Paper; 12 x 12 inches; edition: #1 of 20. There is a blue and aqua version of this print available. The steel frame and candle altar is fabricated by bronze sculptor Vincent Villafranca and the glass candles are made by glass artist and sculptor David D'Orio. Each glass candle comes with a sand blasted bat icon. It's a one in a kind piece!

Wandell Sculpture Garden

Another highlight on my annual Mid West trip is the Wandell Sculpture Garden at Meadowbrook Park, which is operated by the Urbana Park District.

I met with the Executive Park Director, Vickie Mayes, to do some research for the Arts Council of Fairfax County, on how they established the sculpture garden. Founded in the early 90's through the vision of Robin Hall, it is an amazing example, on what you can do with limited staff and financial resources. I love the concept of natural habitat (prairie grass land), gardening, recreational activities and contemporary art.It's worth checking out if you happen to be in the area. They have over 20 temporary and permanent installations and sculptures on display.
