Providence Flower Show Fountain
3 layers, 36” tall, top 28” wide, bottom 18” wide. Foam base with 3-d rings of iridescent glass in Lime and cobalt blue. This piece was designed for the 2006 Flowershow as the capstone to the display. A labyrinth of stone called the caregiver river sent one from the perimeters of the display to the center of the labyrinth where this fountain gently gurgled a soft stream of water. Visitors found themselves wandering past gardens scented with spring flowers as well as artworks created by the participants of Gardening for Goods clients and many other friends. This display won an award – People’s choice for non-profit organizations. Similar designs can be ordered, this fountain is in the collection of the artist. |

Glass Spheres
Black and Blue 10”, Grey and Green 5” Art Glass. These spheres were also part of the flower show display; they sat at the base of the fountain (listed above, this may change depending on where the pix and descrips are). The fountain sat in a bed of polished black pebbles and twinkling lights with these spheres reflecting the light in all directions.
