Peace on Earth Statue

I was delighted to spontaneously come across this beautiful statue whilst on my way to a gig in Liverpool the other night.

The eighteen-foot sculpture entitled ‘Peace & Harmony’ was created by Lauren Voiers, a 19 year-old American artist and fabricated by Lyle London at Art in Metal USA in Tempe, Arizona. Voiers was commissioned by the Global Peace Initiative to create the monument from her original painting, ‘Peace & Harmony”, as a part of the Global Peace Initiative to position sculptures of peace on each continent.

This youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcHcCxVKKxs shows the unveiling of the statue.

This particular statue is the European sculpture. What an honour to be in my home city of ‘Loverpool’ and a beautiful reminder to anyone who happens across this of the paramount importance of this theme: Peace on Earth.
