Art of Bronze was honored to collaborate with South Dakota State University to provide the exquisite bronze sculpture “Enchanted Butterfly” for their butterfly garden in McCrory Gardens. This charming statue features a young girl with a joyful expression, sitting atop a large leaf and holding a butterfly in her raised left hand. Dressed in shorts and a sleeveless shirt, the girl exudes a sense of wonder and delight. The sculpture is securely mounted on a rock base, with a special bronze plaque affixed to the front edge, commemorating the installation.
McCrory Gardens, located in Brookings, SD, spans 45 acres and serves as the South Dakota State Arboretum. The Gardens are renowned for their diverse array of ornamental plants, all meticulously arranged to highlight their beauty. Since its inception, McCrory Gardens has been an All-American Selections (AAS) display site, showcasing and evaluating floral displays in the All-American Display Gardens I and II.
Art of Bronze is proud to have contributed to this magical space, creating a piece that will inspire joy and wonder in all who visit McCrory Gardens.

Bronze lasts forever and will never rust, warp or contort. It is an alloy (a mixture of metals) and will oxidize over the years. This process will not hurt the statue. In fact, it can enhance the beauty by turning the statue many wonderful shades of greens, blues, whites and yellows. For the client that wants to maintain the original patina/coloring of their newly acquired work of art, Art of Bronze has several secrets. Every statue and placement will have different requirements and it is best to discuss your needs with Art of Bronze.
