Maureen Hearty's art & community work

The story of a dandelion's life is illustrated in 6 plasma cut steel panels. I wanted it to feel like a fold out picture book, with tuned chimes between each 'page', reminiscent of the old children's audio books; "turn the page when you hear the chime". This piece is in front of Denver Public Libraries Smiley Branch in Berkeley Park.

Monarch Butterfly wings stand like cardinal points around a Milkweed light totem. Each wing has a tuned chime on the inside to encourage connection and play. This piece lives in the Freeport Arts Plaza in Freeport Illionois.

This interactive sound sculpture was built from old wagon wheels and reclaimed aluminum pipes. The pipes act as resonate chimes, tuned to a pentantonic scale. Sound lives in Wray, CO along the river walk.

This piece is permanently installed in the city of Lakewood's art district, on Pierce between Colfax and 16th St.

Music Inside is tuned to a blues scale and part of the city of Broomfield's permanent collection.

This looks like a giant xylophone. When I was building it I was envisioning a waterfall of sound. Sound Fountain is part of the town of Palisade's permanent collection.
