“Bride & Banyan” by Walter O’Neill
Walter O’Neill tells The Rickie Report, “During the Covid pandemic, I walked along Hillsboro Blvd daily and looked at the banyan tree in the back of the Butler House. My recent sculptures are inspired by the strength, growth, and resilience of that tree. The banyan tree is a symbol of fertility, life, and resurrection in many world cultures.”
A chorus of sculptures by Wayne Pelke
Wayne Pelke tells The Rickie Report, “I’ve been creating sculpture for over 40 years. In these recent creations, I try to capture the essential flexibility and beauty of the female for’s body language. I hope the viewer examines the whole and allows their mind to soar.”
