Dear Art Lover,
I have
been working in Texas for several days now, back in my former studio/home. Saturday, John and I drove to the re-opening
of the new Sculptor’s Dominion large garden sculpture exhibition in the new
location in Boerne, Texas.
We
brought my bronze figure sculpture “Gemini” with us and put her up on a
pedestal. The site is the home of
Gilbert E. Barrera, a friend of mine for many years after he traveled from his
former home in San Antonio to Austin in order to connect with other
sculptors. He came to the Elisabet Ney
Sculpture Conservatory, where I was teaching at the time and where the home of
the Texas Society of Sculptors was back in the mid-1990s and early 2000. And a bunch of us helped him start his dream
show.
His new
location is his family ranch of about 300 acres. I understand from some of the guests this
past weekend that the Barrera family is well-known and respected in San Antonio.
Gilbert’s father is famous and recently
turned 90 years old. He still practices
law. Gilbert has done a lot of work on
this property, including restoring an old log cabin from the time of the famous
battle at The Alamo. It is a beautiful
location. The old oak trees are amazing,
a personal love of mine.
Gilbert
exhibits all styles of sculpture and materials that are strong for outdoor
display. You are sure to find something
that you enjoy there and hopefully want to add to YOUR garden! If you find yourself in central Texas, please
contact Gilbert for a visit to the Sculptor’s Dominion. You may reach him on Facebook or by e-mail at
gilbertebarrera@gmail.com
I hope
you enjoy the images here, which also show just a few of the many large or
really large outdoor sculptures!

Peace,
Kelly
