Ruth Bancroft Garden Sculpture Show 2017


On June 15th I drove up to Walnut Creek, Ca to install three of my sculptures in the Ruth Bancroft Garden. This was my first visit to the garden and  I found it to be a very special place filled with beautiful succulents and cactus. The garden is just over three acres, and it was quite a spectacular show as there were 103 sculptures. What a perfect setting for the amazing art selected!

I stayed for the opening reception June 17th and several of our friends were able to attend. It was a fun event in spite of the 103 degree temperatures. What crazy weather. The week prior it had been 30 degrees cooler.

You can read more about the show here on the Garden’s website. http://www.ruthbancroftgarden.org/2017SculptureShow.html

And here are some photos of my work, my husband’s work, our friends, and some of the other sculptures. Enjoy!
