dreams of the Golden oak

Spring of 2025

Santa Clarita, California

This sculpture has been commissioned by the City of Santa Clarita and the Arts Commission to be installed in their Old Orchard Park.

This design is based on the local history of a famous Oak tree. On March 1842 Francisco Lopez y Arbello, while napping under a great oak tree he dreamt that he was surrounded by gold and was very rich. Upon awakening he picked a bunch of wild onions and attached to the onion roots were several small pieces of gold.  The great old oak tree became known as “The Oak of the Golden Dreams”

Construction to begin fall of 2024, to be insulated in Spring of 2025.
