The two pieces of art I wrote about recently; Copper Elephant Curiosity<\/a> and Copper Solar Flare<\/a> were part of a collection bound for a business in Sacramento. Thank you to The Ambiance Group<\/em><\/a> for sharing photos with me of the artwork commissioned for\u00a0their client’s office.<\/p>\n

These pieces of copper art all have a different process of development, from design to finish. Some are created using separate pieces of copper with different textures, and some are single pieces with a unique story of their own to convey.<\/p>\n

Collectively, they make up a vibrant and intriguing accent to the area. This is also the case with much of the art I have been noticing in our Health Care facility while I wait for a family member being treated there.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a>

Blue Resin Art at Health and Performance Center<\/p><\/div>\n

This resin sculpture was created by local artists 3form, Darin Harker, and PMI.<\/em> It is calming and mesmerizing. The other end of the space has an orange sculpture of similar structure that is vivid and invigorating.<\/p>\n

\"Glass<\/a>

Glass and Amber Onyx Triptych<\/p><\/div>\n

At the elevator entrance there is a triptych of glass and Amber Onyx. This work reflects the desert canyons around us with its simplicity and natural wonder.<\/p>\n

\"Whitaker's<\/a>

Whitaker’s Wind Sculptures<\/p><\/div>\n

Outside the window where I write as I wait, giant wind-sculptures by Whitaker Studios <\/em><\/a>move ever so subtly in the almost nonexistent breeze. The beauty of these sculptures captures my attention each time I encounter one of them.<\/p>\n

Numerous photos of slot canyons, wildlife and nature hang on many walls in our public places, but I believe it is the sculptural art that is beginning to catch my eye.<\/p>\n

Seeing the collections Mike creates for our clients has made me more aware of the public art I experience in my everyday life. Who created it? Does it calm me or energize me? Would I like to see it hanging in my home?<\/em><\/p>\n

How do you feel about the art you encounter in your world? Tell us about it\u00a0in the comments below.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
