Make Spring Winds Sing with Sedona Art

Found at - Vue Gallery

It’s that time of year when the flowers are bloom, trees are budding and there is a slight breeze in the air. If you are in the mood for adding a little something extra to your yard, explore Vue Gallery, located within Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village.

Vue Gallery, located near the creek and off of the main portion of the shopping area, can be seen due to its large number of stunning wind sculptures filling the exterior grassy space of the gallery. The wind sculptures are primarily created by artist Lyman Whitaker.

Whitaker is an internationally renowned sculptor who has been using his artistic ability to design Wind Sculptures since the 1980s. He describes his art work as kinetic. Many of his pieces are installed in public places and are difficult to miss. With the use of copper, steel and stainless steel, his metals are chosen for their appearance and durability.

While the sculptures are large, they are very responsive to the slightest breeze and yet…the sculptures hold up to heavy storms. The sculptures vary in size from 5 feet to 28 feet. One can install one sculpture or a grouping of many -

The Gallery of Modern Masters, located in the Hillside Sedona is also known for its beautiful and whimsical outdoor sculptures. Artist Andrew Carson designs gorgeous glass wind sculptures mounted on stainless steel poles. The swirly glass comes in a variety of colors and captures the sun and wind in all of its essence.

Carson said he “wants his sculptures to interact with people and solve riddles of landscape both interior and exterior.”

Sculptures can be used both indoors and outdoors. Each piece is fabricated by hand. Starting with a rough sketch, then moving toward an elaborate drawing, Andrew designs each piece with industrial and artistic processes.

To see Carson’s work, swing by the Hillside Sedona. You can’t miss these beauties as they grace the exterior of the Gallery of Modern Masters.
