2026 < All Sculptures 2026 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $1200.00 Choose Life, Choose Love Angela Burdon Artist's Statement: “ My sculpture is called Choose Life, Choose Love. I imagined and created this sculpture this year as a response to current events. We all make choices, on how we will live our lives, every day. We choose whether to embrace the real, sometimes complicated parts of life or to drown ourselves in distraction; numb ourselves with the unreal.

Tizirai started sculpting in 1992 and was unwavering in his pursuit for excellency in his work until the day he died. Even in his last days when he was no longer feeling healthy, Tizirai still found strength to sculpt a few pieces as a way of taking his mind off his illness. During his lifetime, Tizirai’s work had an unmistakable trademark of contrasted handshakes. The Handshake sculptures were his expression of his need to see inter-racial unity, he shared Martin Luther’s dream of seeing a world were people are not judged by the colour of their skins but by the content of their character. Taurai Tigere-Tandi the Chairman of Chitungwiza Arts Centre described Tizirai Gumbere as a hardworking Artist who was focused on his work. *Adapted from Gumbere's obituary published on avacarts.com < All Artists Tizirai Gumbere ABOUT SCULPTOR Artist Bio Tizirai started sculpting in 1992 and was unwavering in his pursuit for excellency in his work until the day he died.

Marlene Kawalez All Sculptures Friends Number on Map 46 Artist Marlene Kawalez Material Winterstone and mixed media Installation Date May 1, 2026 Learn About the Artist The connection we have with nature is beautifully represented in this sculpture. “Friends” is created with winterstone and mixed media. Artist Statement: For the past few years, I have been creating pieces that often explore themes of life, the reflection of time, and the peeling away of exterior layers to reveal internal intricacies. In many ways, it is an introspection into my personal journey and that of others that I was privy to observe. The purpose behind my work is to expose, express, and provide insight into the raw emotions involved in the journey of life through clay, wood, and glass. The application of wood and clay is essential as a direct conduit to the root of nature and our existence. Glass, in retrospect, represents the fragility of life and the continuity of movement and time. More Photos Previous Next

2025 < All Sculptures 2025 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $9500.00 Unity Undeniable Mark Puigmarti Unity Undeniable I, along with many Canadians, have recently witnessed, possibly for the first time in our lives, a remarkable national bonding. Stemming from recent American government policies imposed on Canada and the world, the reactions to these events have left everyone with a bewildered feeling. And then feelings wanting to defend and support each other. I thought it would be appropriate to create a mythical creature inspired by some of our renowned Canadian wildlife to represent this incredible patriotism we share by coming together. Mark Puigmarti What seems like lifetimes ago I was refrigeration and HVAC mechanic. Working on commercial industrial gizmos that kept things or people warm or cold, while usually experiencing the polar opposite temperature of whatever it was I was trying to rectify. It is a respectable trade that many men and some women make a respectable living at. However, as much as I tried to make the piping arrangements visually pleasing, orderly, and followable there was something lacking. It just never quite clicked with my persistent dream to follow a more artistic path. One day about half way into a 25-year run at HVACR, I made it my mission to try and change what seemed truly unchangeable. Slowly with a long list of coincidences, happy accidents and a load of sacrifices, particularly by my supportive wife Chris, positive results started to accumulate in the intended direction of working with hot metal. This did indeed take 10 years of incremental progression to end up at the beginning of a new and completely unrecognizable life and style. It is not lost on me to grasp the sheer improbability to do that mid-career, in that career, or any for that matter. That cord was cut 14 years ago now."

2026 < All Sculptures 2026 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $4500.00 Delicate Nature Jenn Wanless-Craig and Terry Craig Artist's Statement: “Delicate Nature” is inspired by the native wildflowers of Haliburton County. The installation is a micro-garden of warm yellow Black-eyed Susans, bright purple Fireweed, and soft pink Common Milkweed. We were drawn to these plants for the fragility of their flowers yet heartiness to survive the adverse conditions of the Canadian Shield. The delicate blooms pair with the permanence of glass as a historical medium yet fragile object. “Delicate Nature” celebrates these important native plants through a medium that can capture the light and colour of these flowers.

2021 < All Sculptures 2021 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition Part of Sculpture Forest Collection Depth Don Frost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k12AcbJEso8 Depth I had a lot of fun making this piece during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was a real escape from the world and just evolved into this primitive, organic shape. I live beside a bike trail and this piece brought in many people off the path to see what I was working on. The mount is also unusual for me, going up on a diagonal which gives the piece some extra movement. The finish is graphite, top coated in a prismatic gold to magenta paint. The piece is made from fiberglass, and composites and is designed to withstand weather extremely well. Don Frost “The act of being a sculptor and continually experiencing the creative challenges in this multidimensional world causes a thought process that spills over into all facets of life causing the world of the artist to become a work of art” Peterborough born Don Frost had his future path laid out for him by winning first prize in a city wide art exposition at age six in grade one. The following year at age seven, Don had a group showing at thePeterborough Public Library. Public school had its usual trials and tribulations and it was not until grade 10 that Don discovered that he was colour blind to all but the primary colours. At this point Don’s life took a right turn and sculpture was all that he focused on. Don teamed up with a friend in grade 11 who became his art agent and they enjoyed considerable success in the Peterborough area. Afterhigh school Don took some time off to do his art and apprentice as a mechanic for a year. In 1973-74 he attended Sheridan Art College followed by a decision to become a professional sculptor having just received a major commission for a large 15' tall sculpture for a new mall being built in Peterborough, Ontario. This was followed by the creation of the largest sculpture in Canada in 1983 by winning a competition for an indoor work for the Michael Starr Building in Oshawa, Ontario. Always seeking new outlets for art Don acquired an art agent in Ottawa which led to an introduction to a patron who kept Don busy creating more than 40 sculptures in a period of twenty years. Don’s work internationally was recently a commission for four large works for a garden in Club Medjulis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Previously to this in an expansive design project by the late King Hussein for a 1.6 km wall of huge relief panels commemorating the history of Jordan, Don’s work on six of these panels was accepted by King Abdullah. Experiencing greater notoriety for the global uniqueness of his art, Don was presented with awards from Peterborough County and commemorated in the Walk of Fame. Presently Don has art representatives across the United States and Canada. Artist Contact Information donfrostsculptor.com don.frost@sympatico.ca 705-652-7200
