This piece, part of a limited edition created in 1999, was gifted to Gardens for Humanity to raise funds for our programs. John Waddell and our founder Adele Seronde released this piece over the years, selling it to collectors to support our programs.
In the presence of “Spring Planting,” one feels a spiritual connection with John Waddell and Adele Seronde who were friends in their creation of art that celebrated and opened the eyes to the beauty of earth, of nature, and of humanity.
This sculpture captures the beauty, intention, and power of “Spring Planting.” The woman herself emerges and fuses with the earth calling forth the internal forces of life. This gem of a sculpture invites you to connect with her and open your heart.
We are raffling “Spring Planting” so she can grace your home, while you support our art and garden programs for kids.
This sculpture was intended to be an edition of 25, but in reality only 20 pieces were cast before John passed away in 2019. This piece is #17 of the entire edition of 20.
Waddell’s work has been collected internationally. He has had exhibitions and permanent installations throughout the United States.
The Waddells had lived in the Verde Valley, near Sedona, Arizona since 1970, and were long-time friends of Gardens for Humanity.
