Sculptures & Paintings by Donna Grabow

These cement statues are only about one inch thick, made from a mixture of feral cement and black lava sand. I used masonry mesh to build a scaffold and then hand-applied the cement to the forms.
I bought a small piece of property along the Volcano HWY on Hawaii Island. I created a little roadside attraction called Peace Park. It's always been my dream to make a sculpture garden.
Working in the garden has therapeutic for me...I get lost in the tranquility of the rainforest, pulling weeds, and replacing them with the kind flowering plants that I want to grow there.
Sculpting a Zen garden is like meditative because it's like sculpting our mind too.
When we take out the weeds, we also take out the negative unwanted thoughts, and replace it with the more beautiiful, cultured plants and thoughts in our garden and in our mind.
We are the GARDENER, the one who controls the change and the growth.
I AM the captian of my garden.
And now, tourist buses occasionally pull up and people take pictures of the stuff I built , yeah!

Well, now that I've rambled on, I'll shut up because silence is golden.
