Galileo stares up into the sky...Wonder what he’s thinking. The National Sculptors' Guild has worked with the City of Brighton to place a number of bronze sculptures by Fellow Jane DeDecker at the entrance of the Recreation Center on 11th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado. The pieces each speak to discovery and play, depicting youth actively interacting with nature.
Jane states... “My work is a cumulative process made of my life experiences and my desire to sculpt the human form. Each piece tells a story of how it was created - every stroke supporting the narrative.”
Part of Jane’s artistic genius is her ability to select a moment to which all of us can relate on a personal level. These moments span all generations, depicting a universally recognized scene. This scene may speak of the love between parent and child, the freedom of a child’s imagination or the simple dignity of everyday tasks. Each is a timeless expression of the human experience, causing us to reflect and evaluate the importance of love, relationships and achievement. - John Kinkade, Executive Director of the National Sculptors' Guild
NSG Public Art Placement #213 Galileo, Lords of the Forest, Ears of Joy and Leaves of Grass

"Lords of the Forest" As in many of Jane DeDecker’s pieces with children, a prop is used. In this case, it is a log! This sculpture speaks to activity and good health.
Ears of Joy was named after a story about this boy and his dog. The story won a Pulitzer Prize.
This is one of Jane’s newest sculptures. The clump of grass holds all kinds of secrets. There is a garter snake, a butterfly, worm, caterpillar, bug and more!
