Installations

Art can transform the perception of space.

I am honored to have organizations who see my art as helping with their mission. 

Cathy Angel

Attic Angels

Madison, WI

Joyful Angel represents the spirit of a loved one who has left a permanent imprint on family members left behind. The flowers on her dress represent Hope (Star of Bethlehem), Perseverance (Hydrangea), Remembrance (Forget-Me-Not), and Festivity (Baby’s Breath). These are the ideals she lived with and passed onto her family shown by the four wings (her children) and the roses (her grandchildren). Joyful Angel represents the life lived and the ideals passed onto family. The family can now use these lessons in their own lives as they unfold.

Joy, hope and perseverance guided this angel through life and now live on in her children and grandchildren.

The five Wake Butterfly Roses are positioned throughout the Comprehensive Cancer Center spreading feelings of hope and calm to the patients who pass.

Each Rose Person is interacting with a butterfly symbolizing the delicacy, beauty and strength all in one. The connection to nature is one that brings a sense of hope. This feeling of hope calms the spirit and boosts the body’s ability to heal.
 
Altra Rose

Altra Federal Credit Union

Onalaska, WI

Altra Rose highlights Altra Federal Credit Union’s (Altra) local business status, celebrates their focus on serving all people, and provides commentary on the comfort people have in life when their money is well handled.

Altra Rose stands in Riverside Park with the Mississippi flowing behind her to highlight Altra as a local business. She has flowers of all kinds carved on her dress to celebrate the focus on serving all people from different backgrounds and situations. She stands confidently and relaxed because she is getting the most out of her money.

The texture on Altra Rose is made from pennies, nickels, and dimes. The lines in the jacket are from pennies, the scalloping is made from nickels and the semicircles are from dimes. The button has a nickel impression in the center. You can also find dime impressions in the hands and legs. All of these marks are reminders that when you get the most out of our money, the texture of your life is richer.
