It has been a number of years since our last holiday letter and we wanted to rekindle the tradition and send out Holiday Greetings, let you know that Georgia’s website has been updated with her latest work, and tell you about a few other things we have been involved with lately. For more information and photos you can go to: www.georgiagerber.com.
Our new year’s resolution is to keep the “Latest News”
section of the website updated regularly in the coming year. This is where you
can find information and photos about work that has not yet made it onto the
main website, new installations, and other items we think may be of interest. Access
is from the home page of the main site, or you can go straight to it at: http://georgiagerber.blogspot.com/.
If you would like to be notified whenever we post something new you can sign up
on the right side of the page.
The Christmas Sculpture Project
Every Holiday Season since 1999 Georgia has created a
small pewter sculpture. What began as Christmas gifts for family and friends turned
into an annual fund raising project for local non-profits here on Whidbey
Island, with about 50 collectors donating each year. This year we have
partnered with the recently formed Whidbey Community Foundation and are
accepting new collectors, starting with this year’s Christmas Owl Sculpture.
For information about the project and how to become a collector visit: https://www.whidbeyfoundation.org/christmas-sculpture-fund/

City Hall, Bothell, Washington
Installed just this month along with three beavers and an otter near an adjacent fountain, "City Kitty" is the nickname of a cat that lived in an old house that was torn down to build the new City Hall. City employees cared for him for a few years and he became an unofficial City mascot. His ashes are held within the sculpture, which is placed on his favorite perch - greeting visitors on the main staircase.

Hudson
A real joy in our life is having our daughter and
her family living just down the road from us. Her husband, Victor, has become
our skilled and indispensable patinauer and after earning her MFA in Painting a
few years ago, Laura has developed a wonderful style of depicting the farm
animals that surround us here on our rural island. Best of all, for her to find
time to paint we get to help care for our two year old grandson.You can view Laura’s work at: http://www.lauraghudson.com
