David Rogers is an outstanding artist from Long Island, New York who first presented his Big Bugs at the Dallas Arboretum in 1994. Since that time the Big Bugs have appeared to rave reviews in all of the major botanical gardens and in other venues across the entire country. In 2008 their appearance in Owensboro represented the first visit to Kentucky and was a great success both for their artistic beauty and their educational opportunities.
There will be 11 sculptures representing nine different bugs. These sculptures are created by all natural woods representing unique shapes, colors and textures providing a special sense of life for these fabulous and very big Big Bugs.
The world of "bugs" represents a truly amazing story of the life of nature at its most wonderful, fanciful and ferocious. Observing these wonderful and beautiful works of art provide a great opportunity for education which is a major goal of The Garden in presenting this exhibition. There will be programs provided during the Big Bugs stay for school children and adults to visit and learn all about the wonderful life of bugs in the natural setting of The Garden.
