I am pleased to announce that Joie de Vivre (edition 1) was just installed at Percival Landing in Olympia, WA.
The sculpture will be on display there for one year as part of the juried sculpture loan program for the Percival Plinth Project. The little girl that inspired the life size piece was my granddaughter, Abigail, who was 4 years old at the time that I sculpted her. Coincidentally, Abigail was born in Olympia not far from the location of the sculpture.

A beguiling, open-hearted and upbeat child, Abigail is the heart of the message presented by the sculpture.
