Sculptures reach new heights (and widths!)

Metal sculptor Paul Bobrowitz uses found objects to create thought-provoking works of art that evoke emotions, especially joy. A finish carpenter by trade, Bobrowitz traded his saw and nail gun for a plasma cutter and welding tools some two decades ago.
Though he works mainly in stainless steel and aluminum, Bobrowitz also uses copper, bronze, concrete, bone, glass, plastic and wood in his objects, which are influenced by nature then reworked with geometric shapes.
Throughout the years, Bobrowitz has won art awards and his works have been featured throughout the country. His metal creations - ranging from small wall hangings to towering pieces - fill his six-acre Spectacular Sculpture outdoor gallery in Monches, which is open to the public, and can also be seen around the Midwest including public areas in Bettendorf and Davenport, Iowa. More locally, Bobrowitz sculptures can be seen at North Lake School and Richland Elementary School in Lisbon. One of his huge metal sculptures can be seen by travelers down Waukesha's Main Street.
Waukesha NOW photographer Todd Ponath spent time with Bobrowitz at his studio to see the sculptor in his amazing milieu.
