Benefit for the Alliance Medical Center T Barny Gallery & Sculpture Gardens


HEALDSBURG, CA. ~ A cel- ebration of T Barny’s 30 years as a sculptor and a benefit for the Alliance Medical Center will be held on September 10 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the T Barny Gallery & Sculpture Gardens in the beauti- ful Alexander Valley located at 4370 Pine Flat Road, Healdsburg. Tickets are $30 each and are available through www.brownpaper- tickets.com. Enjoy a lively evening


of outstanding food from ZIN Restaurant, music by The Linda Ferro Band plus an amusing silent auction filled with 24 unusual items linked to T Barny, sculp- ture and health. In addition, six spectacu- lar examples of T Barny’s sculpture will be sold in a live auction to lucky attend- ees! Why Alliance M e d i c a l Center? One of the blessings of a small, rural community is the opportunity to serve others. T Barny is a member of the board of


directors of the Geyserville Fire Protection District and previously served as a vol- unteer firefighter. His wife and partner, Melinda, has recently under- gone extensive treatment for cancer. These experiences have given T Barny an appreciation for the value of good health- care, includ- ing the special care Alliance Medical Center


provides to the working poor in our community. “If we can't keep ourselves healthy, we can't give back to our commu- nity,” says T Barny. “Thirty years of sculpting stone has taken a toll on my body and I'm lucky to have access to health- care so I can keep carving. Others are not so lucky. I'm proud to sup- port Alliance Medical Center.” For three


decades, sculp- tor T Barny has created works of art that invite you to


join him in a world of flowing stone. Under his hand, mas- sive blocks of stone are trans- formed into graceful mobi-


us curves that seem to defy gravity and reflect the magic and wonder in our world. The forms he creates from stone are a synthesis of thought and reflection, alchemy and sci- ence. T Barny creates art in marble, calcite, quartz, onyx, fluorite and even bronze. His extensive travels – which include carving stone in the quarry where Michelangelo chose his marble – have given his work an international fla- vor and confidence that always surprises and delights the eye. Abstraction is his fascination, and power tools are his forte, as he releases inherent forms out of materials he sources from all over the world.
