Commissions > Wildfire Dragon Monument

The wildfire season of 2003 was devastating in the North Thompson Valley where Michael makes his home. People spoke of the fire as a living, breathing entity with a strong temperament and an unpredictable nature. This monster, they said, could send fire balls to cross impossible gaps, using its force by day, sleeping at night, awakening with a roar as the day warmed and the breezes stirred. Deeply affected by his own personal experiences and emotions, as well as those around him, within weeks of his return, Michael was sharing his designs for a monument with the local chamber of commerce. The “Wildfire Dragon” is the symbol of the fire that imprinted us in history and is a tribute to the human experience. The “Wildfire Dragon” will be dedicated July 26, 2008

A big thanks to everyone who came out for the unveiling. The monument is now in place for all to enjoy.
