Arts round-up in Wellesley and beyond

September 27, 2019 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Here’s a round-up of recent and upcoming Wellesley, Mass., art-themed news and activities:

Overbrook Drive deer sculpture — finished product

When it was time for a diseased tree to be removed over the summer at a residence on Overbrook Drive, the homeowners decided to take the opportunity to give the tree a new lease on life. Thanks to the talents of  woodcarver Michael Legassey of Wood Wizard Carvings out of Athol, Massachusetts, an impressive stag now stands watch where a shade tree once did duty.

We posted about the work-in-progress in July. Here’s a look at the finished product:
