From pixels to bronze, Guardian of the Arts began not with clay, but as a fully digital 3D model—crafted using advanced design software and brought to life through cutting-edge cast printing technology.
Created by artist Cory Wanamaker, the sculpture was transformed from its digital origin into a physical form through a meticulous process involving 3D-printed molds and traditional lost-wax bronze casting, executed by our expert fabrication team.
Installed on Saturday, May 24, the sculpture features outstretched wings and open hands, symbolizing purity, healing, and the transformative spark of creative inspiration. It serves as a tribute to Mim Enck, a beloved longtime resident whose passion for the arts and enduring spirit continue to uplift the Mount Gretna community.
This piece bridges innovation and tradition—where digital artistry meets time-honored craftsmanship. Guardian of the Arts isn’t just a sculpture—it’s a fusion of technology, memory, and meaning.
