"London" and "Carly" Sculptures Unveiled:

In a private gathering of family and friends Dennis and Joyce Griffin unveiled the life-sized sculptures of their two grand daughters, London and Carly, sculpted by Anita Watts in the garden patio area of their beautiful Kentucky home.

Anita did extensive sketches of the two girls to create the sculptures that skillfully reveal the girls individual personalities and interests. "Carly" tells of her love of dancing as she swirls around on a base of Kentucky flagstone. "London" with a wide smile greets her Grandmother with some flowers she has picked, totally unaware of the butterfly that has settled nearby.

Anita was commissioned to do these life-sized sculptures because of the way she is able to capture emotion and personality, along with realistic detail, in her portrait sculptures. Working in bronze, Anita is meticulous in creating unique personal sculptures of people doing their favorite activities.

Griffin Industries has been a leader in the recycling, reclaiming, and transforming of unwanted materials into usable goods since 1943 - long before environmental mandates and related corporate directives. In the beginning this one-man, one-truck operation, had the business philosophy of combining prompt service with an efficient operation which enabled them to offer a consistent product at a fair price.

Today, Griffin's Industries is still operating under this same philosophy and now span 20 states with dozens of modern plants that recycle billions of pounds of material each year. Griffin collects billions of pounds of animal and food by-products annually and recycles nearly 100% of it into essential products such as animal feeds, alternative fuels and organic fertilizers. Their products also become ingredients in consumer and industrial goods such as soaps, gelatins, cosmetics, paints, plastics and rubber.

Spatial Thoughts on Sculpture by Bill West
Anita Watts creates wonderfully detailed figurative bronze commission sculpture. The realism she creates is sometimes scary (meaning it's so real). Maybe one should ask is it live or is it Memorex? She captures this detail without losing the life aspect which is what makes her work...
