It is a great pleasure to be able to put my skills and passion to use on such an iconic sculpture, at such an iconic downtown location.
— Cary Shafer, interviewed by Fort Wayne Business Weekly at the public unveiling of Megaflora
We commissioned Cary to create a sculpture that would pay tribute to our armed services and be an inspiration for years to come. We were thrilled to unveil The Beacon, a wonderful example of his work. It’s a privilege to have a nationally recognized sculptor living in our community.
— Shan R. Gunawardena, P.E., PTOE, Director of Public Works, Fort Wayne
As a Public Art commissioner for the City of Fort Wayne, I know from previous experience on three separate large scale, $100,000+ public art projects, that if Cary is involved, we can rest easy. He has the ability to navigate the complex approval and review process the City requires, and has delivered amazing work on budget and on time, every time.
— Alec Johnson, PLA ASLA, Deputy Director of Park Planning and Development, Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation
Cary is a creative treasure who will inject contagious energy into iterative design processes that produce sculptures of dramatic and lasting impact.
— Paul Spoelhof, Planning Director, City of Fort Wayne
