Janna Tidwell holds degrees in both landscape architecture and horticulture, which makes her – of course – a sculptor. As a child she thought her father was punishing her by insisting she learn his welding and metal working trade, but she quickly developed a unique knack for working with steel, blending bold patterns (making small things like finger print patterns large) and geometry, all with a distinctive New Mexico heritage look – though she lives and works in North Texas. “Leave Your Mark” is an eight-foot white rose sculpture that incorporates what looks to be a human “mark,” fingerprint patterns. Though it appears delicate, the sculpture weighs in at a hefty 1,400 pounds.
