DEBBI RHODES SCULPTURES TO WELCOME ALL TO CAMANO ISLAND
Debbi Rhodes’ metal sculpture designs depicting four local animal themes has been selected by committee and will be installed on the new SR532 bridge in July 2010. Announcement of the selection process, design features, and the financial support that made this all come together were described in detail in Stanwood Camano News‘ March 30th edition. Debbi’s designs will change as you drive by them. They are built in such a way that the sculptures silhouette fir trees for a few seconds in passing then again silhouette the images of the killer whale or orca, a salmon, a great blue heron and a bald eagle when viewed directly from the front or back. Each image has a serious and definite meaning to the artist and our area. The cleaver changing design feature is not a surprising idea when you know the artwork Debbi does. Her thoughtful creations always include her sense of humor and a bit of whimsy. Debbi’s recycled medal artwork has been available in local galleries, through art exhibitions, and on the CAA’s Mother’s Day Studio Tour for several years. You can spot her work in yards and homes throughout the Camano Island/Stanwood and surrounding area. Congratulations Debbi!
