Our visitors frequently say things like “wow, look at that,” or “Isn’t that beautiful?” as they walk around the gallery, and it is always interesting to see who notices what. One piece that catches a lot of attention is “Stealth,” by Jerry McKellar. And why not? He is long and lovely, and his smooth, stoney appearance often has visitors wanting to reach out and touch him. But did you know he is actually not made from stone at all? This big, beautiful cat is made from bronze! Jerry McKellar’s process for the patina makes this spectacular piece appear as if it was carved from rock! – Emily, Spirits in the Wind Gallery Associate
