I was awarded the great honor of sculpting the life size, full figure portrait of George Bergeron seated on a motorized scooter. Mr. Bergeron was an inspiration to many and was the head of the MS Society in Windsor, Canada. The beautifully finished bronze portrait was installed in the George Bergeron Healing Garden located in Windsor, Canada.
(Photographs of the clay portrait sculpture in-progress.)
Mr. Bergeron developed MS when he was 34 years of age and was a great proponent of staying active and mobile.
Portrait Sculpture of Mr. Bergeron in bronze. This photograph was taken at the Grand Opening of the George Bergeron Healing Garden in Windsor, Canada (June 19th, 2004).
I received so many compliments from the Bergeron family and friends saying that the bronze portrait looked exactly like George--that I had not only captured his warm character but also his wonderful spirit.

Here I am with my client. It was a touching dedication and it was wonderful to meet the entire Bergeron family.
George Bergeron was an inspiration who touched so many lives with his personal courage and positive outlook.
Over 150 people attended the dedication ceremony and gathered around the portrait sculpture after the unveiling. |
