| Spotlight on Sculpture

In the July issue, we feature a portfolio of works from eight sculptors from across the country, who create using steel, copper, bronze, and more. GREATER ROADRUNNER by Don Rambadt, shown above, was inspired by a glimpse of a roadrunner in southern Arizona. "Its alert posture created a striking silhouette against the desert backdrop and formed the memory from which this piece is composed," he says. Rambadt and many of the other sculptors featured are participating in the annual Sculpture in the Park and Loveland Sculpture Invitational shows, held the weekend of August 12-14 in Loveland, CO.
