The works of sculptor Jo Hess are found throughout the U.S. in sculpture parks, gardens, airports and private homes.
Although she completed many commissions in the form of busts and life-size portrait sculptures, her personal favorite pieces were those which represented the beauty and grace she saw in her home town of Mobile, Alabama.
This sculpture is titled ‘Flora’. It is a life-size figure of a young woman kneeling in her garden. Editions of ‘Flora’ are found in several sculpture parks throughout the U.S., as well as in museum gardens and in private collections. It is Jo Hess’ signature piece.

Largest private collection of steam locomotives in the world.
No.1293 was built in June 1948 and weighs 117 tons. The G-5 class of 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotives were constructed after World War II to pull passenger and freight trains on the Canadian Pacific Railway’s branch and secondary lines. The G-5’s basic dimensions were patterned after an earlier CP design, but these 102 upgraded 4-6-2s were equipped with the latest improvements, innovations and appliances then available.
The G-5’s were built by three different manufacturers into 1948, with G-5-d No.1293 being constructed in June of that year by Canadian Locomotive Company in Kingston, Ontario. However new and efficient these Pacifics were, all would be out of work within a decade as dieselization spread across the Dominion. Retired in 1959, No.1293 was placed in storage with numerous other locomotives waiting their turns to be cut up for scrap metal. (Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum)

Excerpt from the plaque:
Mark Nadjiwan, a self-taught artist working primarily in pen and ink, is inspired by his First Nation heritage. His unique style fuses Woodland and Northwest Coast Native art traditions. In his work, the Woodland's characteristic x-ray and wavy line motifs are interwoven with the clean form lines and geometry that typify Northwest Coast art. Mark's First Nation roots are grounded in the Georgian bay and Lake Superior regions. He and his artist wife, Patricia Gray, continue to live in the traditional territories of the Anishinabek Nation on the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula and he is a member of Neyaashiinigmiing Unceded First Nation.
Mark's work addresses the environmental and political challenges facing our modern times. He has been pleased to be the indigenous member of a small national team of academics, writers and artists lobbying to have the whiskyjack (Canada Jay) named as the National Bird of Canada. Mark's work can be found in venues and private collections across Canada, the United States and Europe.

Burlington, with support of the Hamilton Halton Brant Tourism Relief Fund, is creating an Indigenous Art Walk in Spencer Smith Park. This project seeks to celebrate and honour the work of First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists.
This project will link Spencer Smith Park with other key downtown arts and culture destinations including Joseph Brant Museum and the Art Gallery of Burlington.
In addition to the vinyl wraps, the Art Walk will include an Indigenous-themed crosswalk and a public art sculpture by David General which is being installed later this year at Joseph Brant Museum.
“Spencer Smith Park, along with every City facility, park and greenspace, is a welcoming and inclusive space,” said Chris Glenn, director of Recreation, Community and Culture.
“These nine commissions will honour and celebrate the work of First Nations, Metis and Inuit artists as residents and tourists walk along Spencer Smith Park and visit key downtown destinations such as the Joseph Brant Museum and the Art Gallery of Burlington.”

Kaiser Wilhelm II had often been on vacation to Sunnmøre. After the fire, he sent four warships with materials to build temporary shelters and barracks. After a period of planning, the town was rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar in Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), the architectural style of the time. The structures were designed by approximately 20 master builders and 30 Norwegian architects, most of them educated in Trondheim and Charlottenburg, Berlin, drawing inspiration from all over Europe. To honor Wilhelm, one of the most frequented streets of the town is named after him
The Conversion of Saint Paul The Apostle 2021 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
This new work of prayer was commenced on the Feast of The Conversion of St Paul, January 25th and completed two days ago, the Feast of St Thomas Aquinas.
Historical accounts suggest Saul, as the Apostle was first known, was short bald and red-haired - the essence of whom the artist felt through the Holy Spirit.
Saul was persecuting Christians until the miraculous visitation of Jesus stopped him in his tracks; leaving him blind for three days before being miraculously healed.
Saint Paul called himself the least of the Apostles because of his guilt at persecuting the church when he was called upon by Christ to change and evangelise the Truth.

Largest private collection of steam locomotives in the world.
US Navy 0-6-0T No. 4 & Nickel Plate Road tender 174 "Buy War Bonds"
After the Revolutionary War, the Brooklyn Navy Yard was established on the bank of the East River in New York City. At the yard’s peak during World War II, 75,000 workers helped to repair numerous Atlantic Fleet ships while building such famous battleships as the USS North Carolina, Iowa and Missouri.
Supporting the yard’s operations required immense shipments of raw materials and equipment, mostly by rail. A fleet of switch engines, including 0-6-0T No.4, was employed move incoming and outgoing cars. A March 1919 product of Pittsburgh’s H.K. Porter Company, No.4 spent three years with the Navy before being sold to the neighboring Brooklyn East District Terminal Railroad. For the following three decades, the BEDT’s diminutive steamers chuffed around the Brooklyn docks. In fact, the BEDT was 100% steam until Christmas Day, 1963 when the line finally retired its fleet of steam locomotives. Fortunately, all of the BEDT steamers in service at that time were saved and preserved elsewhere. (Age of Steam Roundhouse)
Both of these grow profusely in my garden. It's taken a lot to keep the Solomon's Seal roots from taking over and choking out everything else. Their pairs of dangling pale green flowers turn into dark blue berries.
Last night, the tuberous begonias in the window boxes took a beating from the thunderstorm: their red flower heads were strewn across the driveway. Though tattered, I scooped them up and floated them in individual bowls on the kitchen counter.
