Ann Norton Sculpture Garden Board of Trustees

       The Ann Norton Sculpture Garden in West Palm Beach elected Jeff to it's Board of Trustees. These historic gardens, residence and studio were  once the home of one of the United States most revered woman sculptors. The artists studio contains works in bronze, wood, and stone encompassing over 4 decades of work and several artistic periods.

       The gardens contain monumental sculptures built directly in the gardens, for the gardens, which are a surprise as you happen upon them while working through the property, itself populated by rare and endangered palm species. The gardens were originally designed in concert with Sir Peter Smithers.
