Flora Sculpture

As you enter the main gate of the Performing Arts Center you’ll walk past a beautiful 60-​foot diameter circular garden.
Inside the garden, amidst the benches, trees, flowers and shrubs is a gorgeous bronze and rod sculpture appropriately named «Flora». It was sculpted by Douglas Mueller of Windsor Locks in 2009.
The original Flora was the mythological Roman goddess of flowers and Spring. This sculpted version of Flora is perched on a large stone base and holds a globe of the Earth in her right hand.
Check out the detail of the sculpture. The entire figure is a framework of narrow free flowing bronze rods. They make up her face, her nose, the curves and angles of her body, and her hair. There are accented splashes of even more detail, like the flowers in her hair and where the statue meets the stone base.
It’s a beautiful entry point to a beautiful facility.
