Gayle Garner Roski’s newest angel statue – one of 30 angels created in celebration of the California Community Foundation’s Centennial – will be unveiled on Saturday, November 12, at Grand Park in Downtown Los Angeles.

Roski not only decorated the angel, but also designed the form, inspired by an icon – the timeless paper doll. This concept allowed her to use a lightweight two-dimensional material to create a three-dimensional form that would be easy to transport while providing artists with eight different planes on which to paint.

Dates of Exhibition: November 12 to 19, 2016
