From the Creative Pinellas Arts Impact Fund for Visual Arts, my goal is to create and display a 3D public art sculpture of a Bird of Paradise flower to increase viewer happiness and vibrancy in the Pinellas county area!
For this project, I also received the 2024 Cycle 3 Microgrant from The Gobioff Foundation to assist in completing this project.
