BELLAIRE -- The Bellaire Eagles have finished off their new school addition with the installation of a giant 13 foot high eagle sculpture by Williamsburg artist John Goss.
The eagle is depicted flying over the entrance to the School's new gymnasium and is a beautiful presentation of the School's mascot.
Goss began work on the eagle early last summer. He was asked to use some of the metal material from the old torn down school building to create the sculpture.
The eagle appears to be swooping down over the new building entrance and is larger than any eagle ever made by the artist. The eagle was paid for through fundraising efforts in the Bellaire area.
John Goss has been working full time as a metal sculptor for over 25 years in northern Michigan and has crafted hundreds of sculptures often using recycled metals.
He is represented by the Twisted Fish Gallery in Elk Rapids where many of his recent sculpture pieces can be seen.
