AToday's Flowers: A Sculpture Garden


This amazing sculpture garden sits at the entrance to a shopping plaza which was my destination on a recent Christmas shopping spree. It is along US 119 South in Charleston, West Virgina. This flower sculpture was brought to life by world renowned artist blacksmith, Jeff Fetty.
Jeff is phenomenal and has won numerous art awards and has commissioned his ironworks for the well known and famous. He has done work for President Bill Clinton, the Elizabethan Globe Theatre in London, England, Yves Saint Laurent in Paris, France and writer Tom Clancy as well as musician Jon Bon Jovi among others.
I'm very proud to say I know Jeff. He and I were classmates throughout our elementary and high school years. He still lives in the hometown where we grew up.
