Access New Website for Current Sculpture Status


My present website software has become obsolete and we are unable to make changes. A new site is close to launching. It already contains up to date information and photographs of "Available Sculpture". Other sections are partially completed and will be filled in as time allows.

I invite you to preview the new site to access current sculpture status. Select the link below. You will need the password to gain access.

Thank you for your interest in my work.

Catching Up - New Work and Recent News

Due to our Web Master semi-retiring and a strange year of health concerns coupled with pandemic madness we have not updated our site nor posted on Social media for a long while. But we are back to healthy and inspiration is returning. An entirely new website is well underway and we hope to launch before the holidays set in.

Our present website is still limping along and will be updated soon, but this longish post is meant to serve as a review of my work and related events over the last year or so. More photos are available on request.

We wish everyone good health and look forward to keeping things more up to date from here on.

"Hope" the Wishing Whale

A year and half long project, this 12' Gray Whale was the vision of a group of Art and Civic Supporters in the town of Langley, here on Whidbey Island in Washington State. Both Gray and Orca Whales visit the waterfront, and there is a park with a bell that anyone can ring to alert others that whales are present. The "Langley Art Fund" group undertook all of the private fund raising as well as slogging through the abyss of State shoreline management and City permitting in order to gift the sculpture to the town.
 
The sculpture also serves to collect donations for upkeep of the park and the support of marine mammal education through the Langley Whale Center. There are slots in Hope's blowholes to insert coins, which funnel down to ring a bell we cast which rings as the coins drop onto it.
 
The Everett Herald ran a story this week about the project.

Hip Hop at Woodin Creek Village

These dancing Rabbits were recently installed at the main Public Plaza of this new Urban Village in Woodinville, Washington. The concept features retail stores and restaurants on the first floor of the buildings. An interesting approach is the use of different architectural firms for each of the various apartment complexes in order to present diverse presentations on a central theme.

Bull Vessel - a new old sculpture

I created this piece in 1996 during a period inspired by ancient artworks from various cultures, including vertical spirit sticks, bells, and urns. We cast only a few of these Bull Vessels and this one got set aside. We recently came across it and decided to finish it. This is one of the final beautiful patinas done by Victor Ramos, who has since embarked on a new career as an apprentice electrician. We wish him all the best.

Bronze / 1996
Edition of 15

Two Ducks

Pair of large ducks in the outdoor sandblast area. Ready for the final patina. These two figures are unique (one-of-a-kind), created to compliment a single third duck which will be cast soon in a limited edition.

Holiday Newsletter

This letter was sent to our personal mailing list and posted here as an alternative viewing option:

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.





Winter Chickens
Laura 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

We'll close here so we can keep this to a reasonable length. As always, if you prefer to not receive our occasional emails just let us know and you're off the list.

Wishing you a joyous Holiday Season and Happy 2018,
