Vadis Turner

For over a year now, there’s been a Vadis Turner sculpture outside the Frist in Nashville. I haven’t taken a picture of it (it’s here and pictured below at her Insta) but we’ve got ’til January 2029 to view in person. I’d love to see one of her works picked up by the Besthoff Sculpture Garden in New Orleans.

I did get to see her works at her She Drank Gold exhibit in 2023 at the AEIVA in Birmingham:

She’s from Nashville and so interesting (and wonderful!) that she has had a residency at Yaddo twice.
