The Grouting of the Stained Glass Mosaic Sections of My New Steel Sculpture

New Art Alert! Coming to Alamosa today! We will be installing my latest sculpture on Main Street in Downtown Alamosa and it will be up for 12 months. Each year I design a new piece specifically for the Alamosa ARTScape. This is my 8th consecutive year of participating in this amazing program – thank you for choosing my art to be a part of this wonderful community!

For my sculpture, I take inspiration from what I find beautiful, intriguing and mysterious. I aim to add beauty and interest to places I connect with where the passerby can feel uplifted and inspired. With my newest sculpture ‘Dream Catcher’ I hope to offer the audience the hope of casting away bad dreams.

I love the idea of stumbling upon a life-sized, colorful dream-catcher during the day, standing there waiting to stir away anything scary or negative that I stumbled upon in my nightly sleep. My hope is that it would be a reassuring omen to other people who come face to face with my sculpture, not be daunted by negative thoughts or feelings but to focus more on the positive aspects of the
day.

My older son Ethan helped me with the grouting process as he is a young artist and loves being helpful. I loved seeing his approval for the finished artwork.

Below are a few random photos of gluing and grouting.
