We just installed Denny Haskew's last available casting of "White Deer of Autumn" at Gurley Hall on the UNM-Gallup campus. We absolutely love this sculpture in this space. The patina against the backdrop of adobe walls and blue skies is dynamic and she feels at home. The project was guided by New Mexico Arts as part of their Art in Public Places initiative. We loved working with everyone involved in making this placement a success. Special Thanks to Corry with Better Built Construction Services for pouring the footing and assisting with the installation. Learn about what inspired this sculpture... click here

Heritage Park Public Art Project Johnson County is Seeking Community Feedback thru June 30! EVERYONE is welcome to participate and share your thoughts! 
We are a semi-finalist in this important commemorative monument and ask that you please take a moment and be part of the public art process.
Johnson County is seeking community feedback on the three design proposals for the Heritage Park Public Art Project, commemorating the Potawatomi Trail of Death. One design will be selected for installation in spring 2025. Please give your honest feedback, even if it isn't ours.  Denny Haskew's Stone Pony Now and Then We just received a note from the family that purchased Denny Haskew's contribution to Santa Fe's Trail of Painted Ponies- "The Stone Pony". We're happy it's still being loved and admired.
Originally placed at the family's home in Houston, Tx, "Trigger" they shared a photo with a young rider about 15-years ago; and now, photographed headed to it's new home and placed on Willie Nelson's 500 acre "Luck Ranch" in Spicewood, TX where the family now lives. Trigger overlooks panoramic views of Hill Country and greets anyone who drives up the hill, including Willie, wife Annie, and their 70+ rescued horses at Luck Ranch. Trigger the Stone Pony joins another Trigger at Luck Ranch, Willie's 50+ year old guitar… named after Roy Rogers' horse. Because Roy said he never left home without Trigger… Willie never leaves home without his guitar, so he decided years ago to affectionately name his guitar “Trigger”. “THE STONE PONY: All of life combines in this wonder called the Universe… This ’stone pony’ is a small attempt to show that a piece of stone and a horse are both living energies of this universal home.” -Denny Haskew Denny Haskew's Strength of the Maker was installed April 11th in the City of Cerritos Sculpture Garden in California. The City created the above video that we are happy to share here. Special thanks to Shipper's Supply for the great crate, and Advanced Aquatics and Capital Crane for their wonderful installation work.

'Strength of the Maker right from its title... to the strength shown even in the toes, is a statement of how I view my very inner belief. Nature and all things natural have always been of the utmost importance to me all my life. Believing in, the Great Spirit, Buddha, Mohammed, the Mysterious One, is important. I feel they all exude the same message; a life of oneness, of love, of honesty and a source of emotional strength. Strength of the Maker is my visual version of how I see my Maker.' -DH This powerful monumental bronze of a Native American preparing their bow is on permanent display in the Native American Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

This ideal placement just happened to work out beyond comprehension - we knew Denny Haskew's mother and child sculpture "Moulding Our Future" would look nice - but this exceeded everyone's expectations. The sandstone patina against the texas limestone, the flow of the composition against the archway. We think this is a perfect example of Living with Art. Below are images from the installation. We hope you enjoy seeing sculptures in the air - we're happy to install your next fine art purchase. Jane DeDecker's Water is also pictured.
