The Sentinel, 15 ft tall, saplings & paint, 2012 at Gilsland Farm, Maine Audubon, Falmouth, Maine. Raucous and sooty, friendly and frightening, the raven is a vivid mark upon the skyline. Their impossibly black feathers flicker with an iridescence that holds the clues to every color in the rainbow. Their vocal variety suggests that raven may have more to say than most birds.
Hulls Cove, Maine

The Seer, 18 ft tall, saplings, 2012 By The Myth Makers
The Breakneck Road at Hulls Cove has been a summer rendezvous for Native Americans as long as memory exists. Owl has seen the world change and has a message for humankind. Step into the sacred space and listen. If you open your heart, Owl has advice to share.

Elephant Oracle, 2010, Styrofoam, cement, paint by Donna Dodson
The Elephant Oracle is the wise old one to whom we turn in times of confusion, doubt and indecision. The Elephant has a memory that never forgets. Perhaps it is a paradox that one who knows so much says so little. Yet, in its presence, we find the courage in ourselves to listen.
Pittsfield, Massachusetts:
Artscape: Public art in Pittsfield's Upstreet Cultural District in the heart of the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. I am exhibiting Moby Dick, on Bank row through March 2014. In celebration of Herman Melville’s novel, Moby Dick, I wanted to create a sculpture of the novel’s hero. Melville was a brilliant writer. He created the Captain of the ship who sought revenge on the whale who had harmed him, not from malice, but from some animal instinct. I created an anthropomorphic sculpture in celebration of Melville's humanistic whale.

Golden Lionness, 36" tall, wood, paint 2007 by Donna Dodson
The golden lionness sports a mane as fine as the male lion’s mane but red, as a blaze of fire. She wears full length white gloves and a long flowing dress, fitting for the queen of the jungle.

At the Verbier 3-D Sculpture Park, I am exhibiting Baby Bringer and my partner Andy Moerlein is exhibiting Uprooted and Upended.
Baby Bringer, 2011, Styrofoam, cement, paint, 12ftx4ftx4ft by Donna Dodson
She is both a celebration of fertility and motherhood as well as a subversion on the popular myth that storks bring babies in a diaper clasped in their beaks.
Windsor, Vermont:
Cider Hill Gardens & Gallery. Courtesy of Gary and Sarah Milek, Andy Moerlein & I, aka the Myth Makers are exhibiting Alight: the Spirit of the Red Tail Hawk through 2013.
Just landed, ready to fly, observant, noble and respected, the Red Tail Hawk is a common raptor of human environments. Agile in the cityscape and familiar in the rural hedgerow, it is a survivor. These Vermont hills have similarly survived and adapted to a rich heritage of human occupation. Precious soil and abundant rock have conspired to doom all but the most ambitious. Red Tail Hawk stands as a patient monument to the toil that takes place here. ALIGHT is part human yet mostly hawk. It rests fleetingly on this landscape, blessing the place – passing no judgment, but poised to fly.
