Horticulture, Garden Prize relief wall hanging
Located in Greenwich, CT
A unique wall piece that is a great gift for any avid gardener or lover of horticulture. Sit Hamo Thornycroft would become one of the youngest members of the Royal Academy, achieve the Medal of Honour at the Paris Exhibition in 1900, and be knighted in 1917. Working in a transitional style between that of the neo-classicists of his parent’s generation and the Modernist style of the 20th century, Thornycroft carved out a niche as a figurative sculptor and noted modeler of public monuments in and around London.
Toogoods and Sons, Ltd, established in the early nineteenth century, had, by the turn of the century, grown to become the largest seed company...

Joie De Vivre, bronze figurative dance sculpture
Located in Greenwich, CT
This joyous in the round bronze can turn on its base, making for dramatic presentation and enjoyment that is interactive. It is based on the idea of the Three Graces which is often an allegorical subject in sculpture. Wein has done a contemporary feeling interpretation of this classic theme. Piece itself measure 12 1/2 inches and sits on a 3 1/4 inch base and is attached to its base at two points and it is a revolving or rather turning base. The two points on which the toes touch and are secured are striking for how little of the bronze touches the base. It is Fourth in an edition of 13. Albert Wein...

Can Can
By Jane DeDecker
Located in Greenwich, CT
Edition of 50
Jane DeDecker’s energetic and dynamic bronze sculptures serve as a reflection of her own life experiences and those of her closely-knit family. Her twelve nieces and nephews are the primary source of her inspiration, though DeDecker’s sculptures are not portraits. In fact, her loose style leaves her viewers with room for interpretation, so as to see their own lives within her sculptures. This imprecision, combined with her unique ability to capture specific moments to which each viewer can relate on a personal level, regardless of age, give DeDecker’s work a timeless quality that spans generations.
DeDecker began her artistic training as a painter at the University of Northern Colorado, until a professor, noticing her joy in the portrayal of shapes and forms, suggested she try her hand at sculpture...
