Past Public Art Projects

 

The photos in this blog entry represent a few public art created since 1987 to present day.  (No, they’re not in chronological order according to date completed).  Some of these art installations are carved, painted, inlaid; some are beaded sculptures using 4mm and 6mm Czech fire-polished and Austrian crystal beads; and some are hand-sewn wool fabrics with buttons and seed beads.
