Nacogdoches-based sculptor Elizabeth Akamatsu’s sculptures have been featured in outdoor installations and public displays for years. An active member of the Texas Sculpture Group, her works have been included in Boerne’s Art al Fresco, Coppell’s Old Town Art Splash, Dallas’ Art on Henderson, and Marble Falls’ Sculpture on Main. Public art has and continues to play a large role in Akamatsu’s artistic practice, including several recent projects. Most recently, she completed the installation of a permanent sculpture for the City of Denton.
“When I heard about the opportunity to create a sculpture for a roundabout in Denton, I was so excited, as Denton has held a warm spot in my heart for many years,” said Akamatsu. “Denton was the first city to accept my art in an exhibition.”
