Steel trees: Modern sculpture replaces garden gnome for lawn art By Denise Cowie, Knight Ridder
'Visitors often think they are real trees when they turn into the driveway,' says Liz Kalogris, who describes the family property as an emerging sculpture garden. It's not until guests get closer to the tree sculptures that they realize they are looking at what Leavitt calls 'jewelry for the house.'
It's an apt description. There's a delicacy to Leavitt's creations that almost belies the fact that they're hammered out of hot metal using, for the most part, traditional blacksmithing techniques. But there's obvious strength, too.
