Hope, Love and Life: To honor all Mothers, Wives, Sisters and Daughters and Their Loving, Caring and Nurturing Spirits

This life size bronze sculpture was created by talented artist Maryann Eikens. It shows women in four stages of life: infant, young adult, adult and grandmother.

Artist’s Statement:

“I marvel every day at the beauty and strength of the natural world.

My intention in my work is to capture a moment of the wonder and excitement found all around us. I want to tell a story, bring a smile and evoke a feeling for the viewer.

For me, creating a sculpture involves channeling a vision or passion for something in life and then executing this idea with my hands. I feel that being a sculptor is what I was always meant to be. Being a very tactile person,

I love being able to feel as well as see my work when sculpting in clay.

I chose bronze as my medium because of the strength and beauty of the metal and the ability to use a variety of patinas. This makes the possibilities for creativity endless.

I like the fact that a bronze work of art is classic and timeless.“
