The bronze relief, roughly 3 feet by 7 feet, was one of seven sculptures purchased by the Loveland High Plains Arts Council this year for addition to the city's sculpture collection. Cullar's sculpture will be installed on a wall along Taft Avenue in Benson Park, where many of the city's sculptures are displayed. For more information, visit www.artwarren.com.
