Artist William Cochran
The Community Bridge
I have met many artists/instructors throughout my life but
Artist William Cochran
is one of the most inspirational artists I have ever had
the privilege of meeting and is the focus of
The Creatives Daily Presents.
I first learned of this amazing artist and his wife Teresa Cochran while attending a class with another inspirational artist
Sheri Hoeger
who was teaching a class at
Donna Phelps
Sarasota School of Decorative Arts
I headlined Artist William Cochran in
The Creatives Daily on 8/19/2020
and the response was incredible.
Artist William Cochran‘s work is in place in many areas of Fredrick Maryland
so if you happen to be passing by one day make sure to stop in prk and take a walk downtown, grab a bite to eat and you never know you may run into the artist and his wife Teresa Cochran planning another project. If you don’t, not to worry as you will find more of his public work such as
“The Dreaming”
Since my writing is not the best I want to quote this very well written article about The Community Bridge I found on the skyline.net website
In early 1993, artist William Cochran proposed the bridge project because of the structure�s strategic location at the urban center of the long-planned Carroll Creek Park, Frederick’s key economic development project. This linear park site is positioned along the symbolic racial and economic dividing line in the city. The park plan was stalled by controversy and disagreement until the bridge project engaged the participation of the community to build a symbol of common ground. It became a catalyst for revitalization and a symbol of connection and the spirit of community.
There is much more to this article that I would recommend reading on
