I just finished an interview with Claudia Jane Klein, a Lake Worth artist/sculptor, about some of her private and public commissions. This picture is taken in front of her work called Mermaid. It is in the Triangle Park at the west side of the Lake Worth bridge, between Lake and Lucerne Avenues. Here is some information about her recent public installation in Sarasota.

Stay tuned for the video, coming soon.

SARASOTA PURCHASES LAKE WORTH ARTIST'S SCULPTURE

Bharata a large scale aluminum sculpture by Claudia Jane Klein of Lake Worth was recently purchased by the City of Sarasota and permanently installed opposite the Selby Public Library and Sarasota Opera House in Selby Five Points Park in the heart of the downtown historic district.

In 2010 this abstract figurative sculpture was first displayed for a year in Sarasota when it won Second Place from among a hundred entries in Sarasota's nationwide public art competition 'Intersections'.

Bharata represents the yoga pose called the scorpion. It continues the artist's theme promoting exercise, yoga, dance, sports, and mediation to achieve harmony and well-being. The sculpture was inspired by her yoga instructor Bharata for his dedication and relentless efforts to help his students gain inner peace.

For twenty years Ms. Klein has fabricated sculptures and fountains in her downtown Lake Worth studio. Locally she is well known for her often photographed large patinaed Mermaid sculpture installed in 2001 in Triangle Park between Lake and Lucerne Avenues adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway.

She is continually creating new work for public and private collections including Art in Public Places throughout the Southeastern United States. Currently her sculptures are on display in Columbus Georgia, Ocala, and Safety Harbor Florida, and at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art in Auburn Alabama.

She readily accepts public and private commissions, and looks forward to new challenges and clients to help further her passion for sculpture. More examples of her sculptures can be viewed on her website WWW.claudiajaneklein.com and she can be contacted by email at claudiajaneklein@bellsouth.net
