Artists

Many of the featured artworks for the Garden of Surging Waves were created by Chinese artisans in the foundry of Mr. Huo Bao Zhu, owner of Shaanxi Yuan Kun Sculptural Arts Company in China. Huo donated the garden's first work of art, a six-and-a-half-foot-tall lantern valued at $45,000, as a gesture of gratitude for life-saving medical services he received in the United States years ago.

As the garden is constructed, the intent will be to engage local artisans to participate in different aspects of the project, contributing to the local economy and fostering a collaboration that transcends cultural and geographic boundaries.
