Sculptor miChelle M. Vara from Ballard Road Art Studio Gallery, Wilton NY is now finishing 8 sculptural pieces to be shown in conjunction with Domestic Violence awareness month.
miChelle’s past involvement thru a tragic loss of a friend Dawn Bovey Roberts in lighted her to the need for open communication and support for those in danger.
She feels Art as a venue, opens a forum thru visuals in a positive action towards supporting safety in a community for all people.
miChelle’s sculpture takes a new visual standpoint using Iron and glass to convey her thoughts on once negative energy that was transformed into growth and enlightenment for the world around her.
I have built a few bottle trees from classic southern style to artistic sculptural.

My sculpture version of a bottle tree offers no 2 that are the same.
Tree trunks made dimensionally using square and round stock. Adding Sculpture details such as the owl offer the garden a whimsical feel enhancing the color of the bottles. I will gladly make/add on commission any animals or ideas that you come up with to personal trees.
I didn’t realize how fun and visually pleasing the bottle Trees were until I installed a few around my gardens.

The Light off the bottles Glistens with Joy offering sculpture gardens a new energy.
