Greavu sculptures installed at Ohio Northern University pond

ADA __ On Tuesday, October 22, four sculptures by former ONU art professor and current Bluffton resident Judith Greavu were dedicated in a new installation at a pond near Dial-Roberson Stadium. The ceremony and a presentation by Greavu provided the backstory for the bronze castings inspired by plant and animal life in a pond that Greavu had built at a former residence near Dola.

The event was attended by family and friends, as well as by past and present University faculty, staff and students. Greavu made a special thank you to the ONU employees who installed the heavy limestone platforms for the sculptures. The sculptures are a gift from Greavu, who feels they needed a home near water and that “they will be happy here.” ▶︎
