Sherry Tipton carved her sculpture “Serenity” during the Greek Marble Initiative. The nude female figure which she has released from the stone so gracefully captures the essence of serenity. And to the viewer, this figure seems so alive as to draw you close to generously share this grace. Walking around the sculpture, the form appears to move, deepening the intimate communication between the viewer and the art. “Serenity” is a counterpoint to another sculpture Tipton carved for the Heykel Akasemksi symposium in Denizli, Turkey, earlier the same year titled “Duran Adam”. In that work, Tipton has created a powerful male torso that embodies a different kind of energy: relaxed, yet immense masculine physical strength. The figure is classically executed yet the gesture is timeless, reflecting the core of what is masculine, without pretense. These two sculptures are on either side of the Aegean Sea and have yet to meet each other, but when they do it will be a beautiful experience.

More about sherry tipton- The ArtParkS Guarantee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee of 10 years, subject to the effects of weathering, which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance.
For instance, bronze, and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze, will acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish pollen, especially under trees, which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing-up liquid.
Iron and steel will oxidise (rust), and this falls outside our guarantee.
Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.
