The sculpture walk was hit hard during the recent Valley Fire. Only a few pieces of art survived the flames. Alicia's Mosaic was pretty fire resistant and mostly survived.

Other Sculptures were not so lucky. Photo courtesy of Eco Artist and Photographer, Peter Shandera. September 20 2015.

The Middletown Art Center Survived the Valley fire and is now having vibrant group shows that change every 6-8 weeks.

"Daphne"

She was my first venture into larger scale wood sculpture. She was also the first to greet you on the 2007 EcoArts Sculpture Walk trail.

She is 10 feet tall carved from Pacific Willow stumps with California Oak arms.

All wood was scavenged from my neighbor's yard after he cleared his lot to build a house. She is finished with tung oil and stain.

The picture below was Alicia's piece for the 2006 EcoArts

called "Lake County Landscape" (as it was installed in 2006). It was refurbished for 2009 and on exhibit at Six Sigma Winery for the Lake County Wine Adventure July 25th and 26th This piece and Last Willow were both on display there for that 2009 wine tasting event. I also displayed this piece at last summer's Blue Grass Festival at Anderson Marsh State Park. This piece is still available for sale. Contact Alicia or Karen Turcotte of EcoArts of Lake County if you are interested in owning this piece or others. Smaller pieces and commissions can be made to your specifications

Lake County Landscape was my first steel Dioramic landscape. It has painted steel panels with a wood frame.

From the front This sculpture looks like a traditional landscape view of Mount Konocti and Clearlake in Lake County. It is actually a series of panted perforated, expanded and solid sheet panels. The piece is translucent and in certain lights the layered water panels resemble sparking waves... especially with a little wind. It is best viewed in the morning. This picture was taken at about 1 PM. See more pictures at the sculpture page or go to www.slaggirl.com to see the sculpture from different angles.
