Gardian Sculptures are so named because they are meant to be placed in a garden setting.

Each sculpture is produced individually beginning with a wire armature in human form. The armature is then built up with metal foil to create a desired shape. Fabric is then saturated in a product called Sculptack which enables these sculptures to be resistant to all weather. The fabric is then wrapped and draped around the sculpture and left to cure for several days on tables or benches so the bottoms are flat.

Once cured, the sculpture can be set in a basin of water for a few minutes to soften the edges of the dress around her bottom making it pliable enough to conform to the shape of a boulder or something not flat. Other than this procedure, the shape of the Gardian cannot be altered. Bending or reshaping the pose will jeopardize the integrity of the sculpture.

After you have chosen a location for your Gardian Sculpture, it may be epoxied in place if theft or dogs are a concern. Other than that, your sculpture is resilient to the outside elements year round.

    and flowers comes alive.”

Art is a language but instead of using words to tell our stories, visual artists use imagery.  Following the path of our imagination, we will endeavour to manifest our world pictorially.  Using creative visualization and guided meditation for inspiration, this artist's Work?Playshop promises to amplify our most creative selves.

Although each person's image will differ, participants will receive one on one instruction on how to describe their image and on how to use their chosen medium.
