Paden Marker

The Paden family asked for a memorial featuring a favorite spot their parents enjoy – A lighthouse in Oregon and some wildflowers. Knowing it would be a bronze memorial, the family submitted some photos of bronze pieces they liked – such as Michelangelo’s bronze doors the Gates of Paradise! They wanted high relief to create a dramatic bronze. We sketched out a general concept, which the family approved, and then began work with the foundry and their sculptor. After many, many revisions, a design was approved and the foundry did a beautiful job of casting the memorial. The relief on the bronze is quite something to behold. The family was extremely happy with the memorial.
