J.H. Waddell, Ruth & Pierre

 

Approaching the house, one is met with this tableau.



John Henry Waddell died in 2019 at age 98. His wife Ruth, also an artist (link to her website), was the model for many of his sculptures and lives on. 


Daniel Pierre, came to the remote location in 1978 to learn about bronze casting and did all of the casting of John Henry's sculptures.








Daniel, a sculptor and print-maker, is currently working in wood and developing a line of furniture. For information regarding his or John Henry's work he can be reached at 928-202-8335.


By Daniel Pierre





The rest of the pieces are by J.H. Waddell.






There's a large berm surrounding what was meant to be a lake. This seated figure looks up at the women along the top.




From atop the berm.

      Amazing what there is to be stumbled upon!

      Daniel was very kind and spent a few minutes telling about having come there in 1978 to apprentice.
