I recently noticed this sculpture that sits on the front lawn of Children’s Hospital. I first saw it when I was walking my dog… then RoBear and I drove by and I asked him to pull over to the sidewalk to snap a photo. I noticed that there was a plaque on the side of the sculpture so I jumped up onto the elevated lawn to take a look. The plaque read, “Donated by a Grateful Mother” Sculpted by Nicole Terreri.
I’m always on the lookout for works of art throughout Buffalo and I try to photograph as many works as possible. I know that there must be a wonderful person behind the making of this sculpture. I don’t know if the story has a happy ending or a sad one… all I can think is that the person for whom this sculpture was commissioned must be a very special person… and whenever I see this work of art I will always think of the children at Children’s Hospital.
