Pinewood Preparatory School
Summerville, SC
Martin Gallery is honored to procure the artwork for Liberty Gardens at Pinewood Preparatory School of Summerville, SC. Liberty Gardens is a sculptural tribute to those who have shown political and social courage, focusing on world leaders in the constant struggles for peace and freedom. The gardens will be dedicated to local hero, Frances Suddeth Josephson, who showed courage when she defied gender stereotypes to become a WWII code breaker. Her work helped end the war and save thousands of lives. Liberty Gardens celebrates the local and the distant, the domestic and the international, all the while showing our future leaders that the choices we make matter, and that we can matter, too.
Oregon artist, Kris Parmele, is working to sculpt a series of six busts, and also a portrait of Frances Suddeth Josephson, all to be installed in Liberty Gardens. To date she has completed the renderings of Mother Teresa. Winston Churchill and Frances Suddeth Josephson. Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Gandhi and Albert Einstein are all planned to be a part of the final installation. Each sculpture will be cast in bronze in a limited edition of 12.
For information on how to sponsor a sculpture, or to purchase one for your own collection, please contact the gallery director, Kit Coleman.
