Sculpture in the Making

October 18, 2011No Comments

Sedona, AZ (October 17, 2011) – Wildlife sculptor, gallery owner and Sedona resident Ken Rowe has been hard at work on his latest sculpture, and now he’s ready for the big reveal. On Nov. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. during the Sedona Gallery Association’s 1st Friday Gallery Tour, Ken will unveil the pre-cast bronze sculpture during “Sculpture in the Making.” Art collectors will have the opportunity to pre-purchase the artwork at a special price during the event. Come share a glass of wine with Ken and learn more about his inspiration and creative process.

While the subject matter of this latest sculpture is top secret – even the gallery’s expert staff is on pins and needles – Ken promises it will be worth the wait. “I get excited every time I debut a new sculpture in the gallery,” says Ken who spent time this summer traveling the American West and discovering new inspiration for his art. “It’s a great opportunity to meet with our wonderful collectors, share the story behind the art and receive their feedback. It’s going to be a memorable evening.”

Ken has lived in Sedona since 1995. He and his wife, Monica, opened Rowe Fine Art Gallery in 2010. Ken has been sculpting full time for more than 15 years. This fall, he was chosen to take part in the Society of Animal Artists 51st Annual Art and the Animal Exhibition and National Tour for the sixth consecutive year. This year also marks the second time he has received the Society’s Evelyn and Peter Haller Memorial Award for Sculpture.

Rowe Fine Art Gallery is located upstairs in Patio de las Campanas near the bell tower at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village. It is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 928-282-8877 or visit www.rowegallery.com.

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
