Above: The Lion of Judah
March, 2026- The Lion of Judah represents the ancient Hebrew tribe of Judah. Among the works of Adam Stempka, the piece is made from thousands of recycled nuts and copper. Stempka says this creation required many months to assemble. Alexis, a 9-foot-tall, 250-pound steel sculpture of a juvenile giraffe, was sold to a private patron. Steam Punk Grasshopper/Katydid is another form captured from nature, measuring over 5 feet tall and 6 feet long. Made from recycled materials with custom patina and clear coat, the work weighs 500 pounds.
