| "Wonders & Wings" Show Photos |
The "Kevin Caron: Wonders & Wings" show opened with joy, laughter and appreciation on many fronts the evening of Thursday, October 19. A "second landing" reception was held the following Thursday evening, October 26, both as part of Scottsdale's ArtWalk. More than 1000 people joined us for great art, food and fun during the two evening events.
Held at Pearson & Company, Scottsdale's premier indoor and outdoor landscape decorator, Kevin introduced a number of new pieces (check out In the Works to see what's new!) and entertained an energetic crowd. Extraordinary caterer Just Great Food was in charge of the "Bad Influence Dept., Food Division," tempting visitors with delicious desserts all evening.
The show's beneficiary, Wild At Heart, had several representatives at the show, but the human ones were clearly overshadowed by Antar, the Great Horned Owl; Flash, a Barn Owl; and Hoot, a Burrowing Owl who appeared in the video extras of the movie "Hoot." Pearson & Company donated 10% of all sales proceeds from the two evening events to Wild At Heart.
Vistors seemed enchanted by the fairytale setting of Pearson's courtyard. Shaded by mesquite trees and decorated with exotic plants and unusual pots, the courtyard is a perfect setting for Kevin's fountains, bells, creatures and even Pandemonious, the privacy screen. You can see HalfPipe, a large bell to the right, and Rust Devil, another bell, to the left.

Wild At Heart had an informational table to share the nonprofit organization's goals and successes. The feathered representatives - Antar, Flash and Hoot - however, garnered a great deal of attention. Handler Eileen Strauss provided a friendly perch for Antar, a Great Horned Owl, who watched everyone and everything alertly.
Caterer Just Great Food provided delectable desserts to complement the complimentary wine. The desserts included a "Happy 15th Anniversary" cake for Pearson's!
In addition to the bell Cribbage and ladybugs, Kevin introduced some new pieces, a series of playful - and practical - trivets at the show.
