Shorewood "Butterflies in Flight"

Shorewood, Wisconsin will be showcasing a Public Art Project called "Butterflies in Flight" this summer from June 20th through the August 23rd . Thirty artists were picked to design and decorate large 3 foot by 3 foot fiberglass butterfly forms. I was lucky enough to be included among the artists. My butterfly will be located in front of Allstate Insurance at 4451 Oakland Avenue. Opening day for the display will be June 20th and there will be a chance to meet many of the artists by their butterflies from 11am to 1pm. Stop by if you get the chance. I'm sure the display will be quite beautiful!! Here are some pictures of my butterfly.


My butterfly, "Flight of Fancy", was created using stained glass in shades of purple, green, and blue, mirrored glass, black glass gems, and beaded chain.





At the end of the display there will be an auction held at Hubbard Park Lodge on Sunday, August 30th from 4:40-7:30 p.m. All proceeds from the butterflies will go to the Shorewood Foundation. Visit www.shorewoodwi.com for more information.
