Figurative sculptures are representational and derive from real object sources such the human figure, animal figure, figures from nature and any other form that retains a strong reference to the real world. Futurative and limitless, figurative sculptures offer the comforts of a world we are familiar with, blended with the fantastical imagery that can only come from an artist’s mind.

The Garden can also be seen from the beach and the recreational beach walkway, creating the same invitation to the visitor as the Dunefield, encouraging passer-bys to come in and visit the Figurative Garden of Eden.

and recycled wooden planks that create meandering paths through the dense planting areas that prove the backdrops for the sculptures and shady seating areas for relaxation and contemplation.  Within the Garden, peace is in abundance and the only movement will be of the trees swaying in the breeze. However, among the serenity you might be surprise by a flash of vibrant color fluttering past you from the wings of a gentle butterfly flying in the Butterfly Vivarium, but that my friends, is a story left for another day.
