ARTin the Garden
There is a surprising amount of
extraordinary artwork in yards and
gardens around Shaker Heights.
Some pieces can be seen from the
street, while others are nestled in
backyards amid flowers and shrubbery.
Generally made of stone, metal, or
plastic for obvious reasons, some
have been commissioned by the
homeowners, others purchased from
galleries and collections.
When Shaker Life went in search
of outdoor pieces done by local artists,
we found them in neighborhoods all
across town. The following photo
essay shows off half-a-dozen of these
sculptures, all created by Northeast Ohio
artists except one – a monumental piece
by Robert Indiana, shown on
this issue’s cover. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANET CENTURY
