Last year, I was honored to have been invited by the Charles T Cotterill Foundation to create a design for a scratch block casting project for downtown Maysville.

The project was led by Jeremy Colbert and executed by his staff and students at the University of Kentucky Sculpture and Metal Arts department

The carving for the art was done by hundreds of Mason County students: from Mason County Intermediate School, and St. Patrick’s School.

My idea for the artwork was: the space where the art is displayed is a gateway

when visitors come to Maysville via boat-the tunnel is the gateway to the city; which is illustrated on the East wall.

when people from Maysville walk to the river – the tunnel is a gateway to the RIVER; Ilustrated on the West wall.

Art brings community together!

It’s been wonderful to work with this amazing group of people.

Maysville has been an inspirational and supportive community that allowed me to live my dream of being a full time artist. It’s been an honor to be a part of such a cool art project in my home town!

Thanks again to the Charles T. Cotterill Foundation and all who made this project possible!
