Despite the forecast, live like it's Spring! Lily Pulitzer
Charles Gagnon was an artist/sculptor. He was born in 1934 in Minneapolis, Mn. At an early age he began an interest in carving with soap, clay, wood, and even potatoes. He lived for 5 years in Florence, Italy where he studied Renaissance Sculpture.
His work has been commissioned by corporations and people from all over the world. In 1965 he returned to Minnesota, living in Rochester. If you are from Rochester, you might be familiar with his work as he sculpted the Dove Creation in Peace Plaza and the St Francis statue with the birds at St. Mary's Campus, Mayo Clinic. He passed away in 2012. His wife opened up a Gallery of his work at their home in Rochester called the Gagnon Museum.
You can read more about his life and work here .
I'm sharing this because my brother, Eric, has two pieces of his art work that he wants to sell. My brother was a painting contractor who did some work for Mr Gagnon many years ago. He ended up paying my brother with his art work. Eric is now downsizing and would like to sell these two pieces.
One is a sculpture called, Creation Of Woman
