Sedona AZ (September 12, 2017) – Sedona artist Kim Kori’s newest bronze sculpture is titled A Moment’s Rest, something Kim hasn’t had much of this year.

Kim spent time in Loveland at the dedication ceremony in July and then again at the 34th annual Sculpture in the Park invitational show in August. Amore is one of 154 sculptures in the 10-acre park.
