In 1968, after a lifetime as a painter, Seward Johnson turned his talents to the medium of sculpture.  Since then, more than 200 of Johnson's life-size cast bronze figures have been featured in private collections in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, as well as prominent places in the public realm such as Rockefeller Center in New York City.  Johnson's most dramatic work is the 70 foot aluminum giant entitled The Awakening.
