Cara Studios
Sculpture Garden |
Canons were proudly placed on the
lawn and cadets from the old Gordon Academy once lined up for their formal
portraits in front of the Carnegie Library. The years passed, the
library was sold and the concrete canon bases stood empty. Then came artist and
poet, Cara who had a vision for the library from the moment she laid eyes on the
property.
Cara restored the 1910 library as her studio and home and then proceeded to
create a sculpture garden on the barren property. She hauled in five more
concrete bases for sculptures which are now hidden amongst the lush
foliage. Over the years Cara added trees, flowerbeds, garden rooms, a
pond, rock garden, patio, fire pit, a gazebo and an herb garden. Cara now
has a beautiful garden retreat in the heart of downtown Barnesville. She
constantly enhances the garden and subtly incorporates designs and symbols from
her studies of world cultures and archaeology.
Care gives unique cultural art performances and art
exhibits in the garden and in her studio. Groups often combine these events
with tours of the garden and historical tours of the beautiful old library. See
Tours or Recent Work and Performances on the index page.
