To honor and remember those who were lost, the Newtown Alumni Association (NAA) has embarked on a serious and personal mission dedicated to the creation of a memorial for Newtown. Within this committed mission, we strongly believe that to truly express the heartfelt sentiments of Newtown's citizens, a memorial design must come from someone who has a deep understanding and genuine love for Newtown. It is with this sentiment, along with an unwavering insistence upon an experienced and gifted candidate, that our pursuit of a designer, artist, and sculptor ended with Travis Fulton.
rnTravis lives in Aspen, Colorado where his nationally recognized studio and office is now located. His roots, however, are from Newtown, where he was born and educated through his early years in our school system - his family having been a part of Newtown for over 70 years. We contacted Travis to ask him if he would be willing to design and assist us to bring to fruition this memorial as a testament to the profound sorrow and love that all of Newtown wished to express. Travis responded with an immediate and sincere reply, “I would be honored.”
rnWorking collaboratively with Travis is Peter Hutter, an engineer and partner at Water and Stone Art. Peter’s engineering expertise and aesthetic sense has enabled Travis and Peter to create numerous works of art that always preserve and enhance the intended beauty of the design while still providing inconspicuous flawless functionality.
rnIn their preferred medium of water and stone, we invite you to view some of the many inspired works Travis and Peter have created throughout the United States. We sincerely hope that you find them, just as we did, to be artists whose sensitivity and genius are expressed with an unassuming brilliance that captures the essence of the natural surroundings, while simultaneously projecting a clear and intended message. It is with great confidence that we believe they will achieve and subsequently convey this wholesome message on behalf of Travis's hometown. We sincerely hope, after viewing their work, it is your belief as well.
