On October 25, 2021 the monument to Anita Baldwin, titled “A Legacy of Charity” was unveiling in Arcadia, Ca. at the newly built Le Meridien Hotel Pasadena Arcadia. From its inception almost two years earlier (October 2019), to the unveiling, this project was a labor of love. It began just before the world changed and shut down. The lockdowns made fundraising more challenging, but due to the hard work and diligent efforts of a few, the funding was able to be raised and the project proceeded to the sculpt phase in December of 2020. I finished the 1/4 scale maquette after about 4 months of work and then it got scanned and outputted in foam for the full scale sculpture. The full scale sculpture took about 4 months to complete, going through a few changes and requiring hundreds of hours of work. It was a real pleasure to get to do my second monument and I learned even more than I did the first time. Hopefully I get a chance to do a third monument and apply all that I’ve learned from the last two. If you would like to see the progress of this project from start to finish, go follow me on Instagram and look through my feed. I documented the entire process.
