Eco-Warriors

Now that the state of California has reopened, there’s nothing like spending a sunny afternoon outside with friends and like-minded folk, enjoying DJ-hosted live music, food, drinks, and sculpture… especially when it’s your own!

Last June 26, the City of San Leandro held an outdoor reception celebrating the recent installation of three of my Sentinel artworks in one of its central areas, the Hesperian Triangle, at the corner of 14th & 150th Streets. They’ll be on display for one year with the support of the city and the non-profit Local Artists Berkeley’s Temporary Art Program.

The inspiration for these three 15’ welded and forged steel structures is my view that Sentinels are protectors of the earth. They serve as beacons calling out to humankind to cherish and protect the inherent natural beauty of our planet (for more details, see “Sculpture – Outdoor” on this website).  

San Leandro Mayor Pauline Russo Cutter commented that: “Public displays of art like the Sentinels are so important to San Leandro because they enrich the cultural life of our community.”   

For me, it was simply a wildly awesome afternoon of fellowship, relaxation… and just plain fun!
