 |  The Chandler Bike Path is a wonderful asset for the city of Burbank. It stretches from Mariposa, where this sculpture is found all the way past the city limits into North Hollywood to Vineland. This bronze sculpture was unveiled in April of 2011 during Burbank's Centennial and pays tribute to the historical roots of the bike path. Once the Burbank Branch Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, the rails, plates and spikes used in the piece are parts from the original train track. The line opened in 1893 and was in service for about 100 years. Burbank was farms and ranches at that time and this allowed for easy crop transportation. |
The "Trainwalker" by Burbank artist, Shiela Cavalluzzi was created locally at the American Fine Arts Foundry in Burbank. The trainwalker's duty was to walk the tracks, examine and maintain them to keep them safe for public travel. This trainwalker is a very large, concerned and devoted looking fellow who reminds us of the past while we walk the path in the present, perhaps dreaming of the future.
Dear friends and fellow art appreciators,
It is a great joy to develop the Art Around Burbank website. It is a thrill to be surprised by art in my daily routine and be able to share it with you. As you can see from the menu above, the website is expanding beyond the blog to include other visual art resources.
I would like to buy the domain name so that Art Around Burbank can stand on it’s own, and drop the weebly host name. The one year cost is $50. If you can and are willing to donate any amount, even as little as one dollar, I will gladly accept your help!
If you are local, I’ll come to receive the money from you and give you a big hug in return! To anyone who donates the full $50, I will give you your choice of one of my 5 x 7 original acrylic paintings on paper.
Thank you for your consideration! Click to donate
Peace, Lisa PH Caddel
