Anthony Terrazas Sculpture To Be Auctioned Off Live For United Cerebral Palsy Colorado

Aug. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Denver, CO- (July 29, 2009) Local Sculptor Anthony Terrazas announced today that he will donate his beloved “Jack” to help UCPCO. “Inspiration and hope are the sole purpose of Jack.  With strength from within, Jack gestures toward his inspiration which is always encouraging him to move forward with purpose.  The anatomy and brilliance of form are captured in a single frame as if on stage.  An outward expression of Jacks inner spirit is found in the essence of the highly classical pose with hands flared echoing true brilliance.” States, Terrazas. The piece is valued at $5,800 and will be auctioned off live at the 26th Annual Wine in the Pines October 23 and 24, 2009 in Keystone.  “We are so thankful that Anthony cares about us and has stepped up to help in these difficult times”, says Liz Neafus-Stenzel, Director of Public Relations for UCP Colorado.
About Anthony Terrazas: Sculpture is a powerful vehicle for communication, a way to express vision that goes beyond the capacity for words. Terrazas uses bronze as a medium of intellectual and ethical inquiry, a way of investigating the ever-changing world of exploring the meaning and values. And you cannot touch art without touching values: values about home and family, work and play, the individual and society, nature and the environment, war and peace, violence and love. The great art of the past and present deal with these human concerns and is the focus of Terrazas work. www.anthonyterrazas.com
