"Three Graces"
Life/Size Bronze

The "Three Graces" Life/Size (L/S) bronze was created for the Paradise Valley Mall in Paradise Valley, Arizona.  It is in the center court of the Shopping Complex.

The three figures are as follows:

Left:  Hope;  Hope stands holding an eagle "prayer feather" with her head bowed and her eyes closed.  She is blind to all but desire.

Right: Faith;  Faith watches a butterfly which has landed on her finger.  The butterfly is the international symbol of faith;  however, I did not know that at the time I created the original drawings for the design.  I selected the butterfly to represent the cycle of life.

Center:  Love;  Love stands facing the viewer with a small fawn (not installed at the time of this photograph) to her side.  Love conquers fear and tames the "wild beast." The pose was taken from my drawing of my daughter in the drawing "Dream My Daughter."

The bronze was modeled after a young Navajo girl that I met at the center.  I gave her a card and asked that she have her parents contact me
