Good Things that Have Happened

Mountain Spell Dedicated in Lone Tree

On October 28, 2019, it was my privilege to celebrate the dedication of Mountain Spell in Lone Tree CO. The Lone Tree Arts Commission, with a generous gift by Donors Harold and Ada Anderson, has purchased a heroic size Mountain Spell to reside in front of their beautiful new Performing Arts Center.  The setting for her dance is stunning and the kind words about the community's response to my sculpture made my heart glow.  Thank you.

Davis White Trophy Presented in Detroit 

I created and presented the inaugural Davis White Award for Global Excellence for Ice Dancing during the National Figure Skating Championships in Detroit, Michigan in February 2019.  The sculpture honors Meryl Davis and Charlie White, the first U.S. ice dance team to win an Olympic gold medals.  They won the gold medal at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.  The original bronze sculpture, portrays the starting pose of their winning free dance. The award will reside at the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs.  The inaugural award  was made in Detroit to Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, who were also the 2019 national champions in ice dancing.

Peggy Fleming Trophy Completed

Evergreen sculptor Harold Linke was selected by Peggy Fleming Jenkins to create the new Peggy Fleming Trophy for the Broadmoor Skating Club.  The award was created by the 1968 Olympic gold medalist to recognize a skater who, like Fleming-Jenkins, excels in artistic expression and presents a performance that is a complete composition. 
The inaugural award of the trophy was made in Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor World Arena on Friday June 22, 2018, and was awarded to Timothy Dolensky of Atlanta. 
​

Harold Linke is known for his simple, elegant, lyrical sculptures that capture the essence of the movement and the emotion of the moment. This trophy is in harmony with those themes and is meant to capture the evocative beauty inherent in truly artistic figure skating.  Harold said, “Working with Peggy on this project has been such a joy.  She has such artistry in her skating that made my sculpture a natural fit for this trophy.  I am honored to have been selected to create it, see it presented by Peggy and to meet its first recipient.”
 
He has placed well over 1000 sculptures in permanent public and private collections throughout the United States and the world. ​
