C. Burr Artz

This is the owl, books and eyeglasses sculpture that so many of us associate with knowledge (and others associate with Harry Potter!). Walter’s artwork can be found in notable public and private collections worldwide. He is primarily known for his loose representational style and unique approach to the handling of surface. His works, in both bronze and stainless steel, are highly expressive and reflect a deep and sympathetic understanding of his subjects.

Moulden’s art focuses on landscape with trees, generally painted with acrylic on plywood. In the past, Moulden has painted Frederick cityscapes using scenes from local neighborhoods, but has more recently concentrated on Frederick’s natural environment.

The storytelling space features intricate carvings representing dozens of fairy tales. Aylor described his motivation for this artwork: “Trees often play a special role in the stories of our childhood, from the magical forests of fairy-lore to the homes and hiding places for many of our favorite characters. With these elements in mind, I have created this story tree.

This lifelike sculpture is a magnet, especially for children who like to look over the shoulders of the figures to read the Star Spangled Banner. “Meet me by the statue out front” is a commonly heard phrase here.
