There they are!

I installed my sculptures in the Redlands roundabout this morning!!! This is such an exciting and affirming moment for me - it was only a short 7 years ago that I stopped punching in and began chasing my dreams! If you believe in it and work hard - you can do it! Thank you to the City of Grand Junction for allowing me the great privilege of displaying my artwork in my hometown! This project couldn't have happened without the help of a lot of people - thanks in particular go to Troy Reynolds and his team at FCI Constructors Inc , Burner Construction LLC, Sunstate Equipment, Randy Beard, and Shanachie Carroll. More pictures are to come or see it in person!
