COMBINING COMPASSION AND ART

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Reaching out, one to the other in unity and love is the first step. Gaylord again uses this classical image over the background of a perfect circle to depict his image of eternal love and bonding. In order to complete the circle we must all reach out in love; we must touch and be touched by love. It will be offered only in Parian II and offered on a granite base as well as a wall hanging piece in a limited edition of 350 for each style.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

| The divine love and bond between a Mother and Baby is truly eternal. There is no greater nor more natural love than the love between a Mother and child. It is a recurrent theme that Gaylord has depicted in his art from the earliest years until now. This image perfectly captures this divine love. The piece is 32"h x 30"w x 24.5"d. In Parian finish, a limited edition of 100.

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you. Osho

| Artist Bill Mack
He has no mentors. There is nowhere to go to learn his art. No one teaches his technique. Sculptor Bill Mack works in such a rare art form that coming up with a name to describe it has been only slightly less arduous than creating the art itself.
"Calling my artwork bas-relief," Mack says, "is incorrect since bas-relief technically refers to low relief sculpture. My art, in fact, has more physical depth than high relief; it incorporates various elements in full-round rising toward the viewer as in my "Illusion" image where her leg leaves the background extending into space. Technically, sculptures combining various levels of relief and full-round parts are called 'Alto Relief' sculptures. A similar technique has been used on classic Roman and Greek buildings. However, until I offered my current collection of sculptures, this art form had not appeared to any extent in galleries." Combining low and high relief, incised lines, and elements in the full-round in sculpture works that are light enough to be hung on a wall, Mack directly involves the viewer in a 3-dimensional experience, both textural and tactile, that is often startling real.
"Mack's art elicits an immediate emotional response," notes one critic. "A moment in time is stopped, a familiar face revealed, the grace of a body in motion captured. The viewer becomes more than an observer; he becomes a participant in the drama unfolding before his eyes."
