Judith Greavu, art emerita at Ohio Northern University, recently had her work “Kinnegoe Bay Cross” installed in Deland, Florida.

Greavu also has installed “Arts Spirit” at The Deland Sculpture Walk near the Museum of Florida Art in Deland, Florida. This towering outdoor work evoked a dancing spectacle that suggested influences of Henry Moore and Louise Bourgeois.

Greavu’s works have been shown in numerous venues around the country. She has presented from Michigan to Florida and throughout Ohio, including Polk Museum Outdoor Sculpture Competition, The Sculpture Center in Cleveland, Ohio, the Everglades National Park, and the Midwest Sculpture Initiative.
