Each Sculpture is Story-Driven

Dawn Grates gave our master glass artist, Chris Nordin, a brilliant idea! Dawn was looking for a way to honor her dad, Don Schick, with whom she was very close. Don enjoyed being out in the garden so much, he even liked mowing the lawn. Before he died, Dawn and her dad had spoken about creating a suitable memorial; they talked about planting a tree in her yard, but when her grandson heard about that way of remembering his PawPaw he said, “What happens if you move?!?” She realized he had a good point.
