Great public art connects people and places in exciting, beautiful ways. Since 1993, the collaborative team of Andrea Myklebust and Stanton Sears have created sculptural works which entertain, educate and delight. They combine elegant forms and lasting materials in site-specific artworks with a modern sensibility.

Myklebust and Sears believe that powerful art helps to create vibrant communities. They design works which are meaningful to people today, and strive to create high-quality spaces which stay strong over time.
