New bronze sculpture ''THROUGH THE STORM''


New bronze sculpture ''THROUGH THE STORM'' (eagle) H- 19.5'' L- 16.5'' W- 7'' Edition 50 price $2600. I have enclosed the finished bronze next to the finished clay the composition was inspired by natures design from the eye of a hurricane. ‘’Through The Storm’’ There is a power that is created when we go through the storms of life. Pain, struggle and defeat show us more about who we are and what we're capable of. In the storms of life, we gain wisdom and experience growth. We are given an opportunity to grow stronger. It is in the struggle where your strength is built and your character is forged and we become the person we are today.

My bronze Champion Lane Frost is being used as a fund raiser for Natrona County Public Library buy a ticket you can’t win unless you enter and it is for a good cause thanks Chris.


  I have always been a big fan and supporter of Natrona County Public Library. My bronze Champion Lane Frost is being used as a fund raiser for them so go buy a ticket you can’t win unless you enter and  it is for a good cause thanks Chris.
Molly Parrish of Casper, is part of a knitting and crochet group that is organizing a fundraiser for the Natrona County Public Library as part of Knit in Public Day.
Molly and her friends who knit and crochet together, they call themselves “Hooks, Sticks and Tea.” Worldwide Knit in Public Day is Saturday, and the group is planning an event along with a fundraiser for the Natrona County Public Library.
My husband and family own an art foundry (PARMAC Liquid Metal Works) here in town, and we do a lot of work for Chris Navarro, and he said that when he first got interested in sculpting, he went to the library and checked out books on how to do it. So, the foundry and Chris are donating a tabletop bronze to raffle off, and the money will all go to the library.

It will be a fun day of knitting in public, people can crochet, spin, anything with fiber arts, on Saturday June 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., outside the library in the back facing the Nic. There is a brick circle back there, and that’s where we’ll be. The raffle tickets are $5 a piece or five for $20 or further discounts for more. Anybody who spends $100 or more on raffle tickets will get a $5 voucher to spend at the library. The raffle drawing is on that day at 3pm. It’s “Champion Lane Frost,” by Chris Navarro, the same one that is at Frontier Park in Cheyenne. It’s on display at the library right now. If you can’t get to the event on Saturday for tickets, call or text me, Molly Parrish, at 267-8267, and I will meet them at the library before Saturday and sell them tickets gladly. The bronze is valued at $1,250. It is 14 inches and  edition 25 of 300.

I designed The Sacred Heart Of Jesus to have light radiating out from within it. Last night I wired it up and it worked great. This is the second sculpture of mine to have light radiating out from within, the first was ESSENC OF REX. Both sculpture where commissioned by Mrs. Marialyce Tobin of Casper, WY and she requested that light radiate from both sculptures. It was a challenging to figure out how to make the lighting work. It did enhance both sculptures. Thank you Marialyce Tobin for giving me the opportunity to create these works for the city of Casper. Without you they never would have been possible.

I ave been working on this project for over a year and it is finaly done. It is always very satisfying when a new monumental sculpture is finished.
Casper, Wyoming artist Chris Navarro will be installing a new monumental sculpture.
‘’SACRED HEART OF JESUS’’ - The twice life-size bronze monumental sculpture Height 17 feet Length 8 feet Width 7 feet. The sculpture will be installed at 10 am June 5, 2017 and will be dedicated at Our Lady-Fatima Catholic Church 1401 CY Ave, Casper, WY June 23, at 6pm 2017.
The Sacred Heart will have light radiating out from within for it is a sign of the love Jesus has for us. "Jesus has loved us all with a human heart’’. In my sculpture ‘’The Sacred Heart of Jesus’’ I show Jesus with open arms, for it is the inviting expression of peace. In the center of his chest is the heart, it is a symbol of love. When depicted as the Sacred Heart, it is shown as pierced with a cross and thorns twisted around it. This shows the depth of Jesus' love. He was prepared to suffer and die for all people. His love is eternal.
At the base of the sculpture four white doves are in flight spiraling upwards around the base.
The number four signify the four Gospels and define the four directions of the earth. White Doves represent the Holy Spirit they also express innocence, gentleness, freedom and peace. In the base there are three large relief sculptures of the Chalice and Wafer, cross, and the Lamb of God. The cross is a symbol not only of Jesus' death but also of his resurrection. It reminds Christians of God's love in sacrificing his own son for humanity. It embodies Jesus' victory over sin and death, since it is believed that through his death and resurrection he conquered death itself. Jesus is referred to as the “Lamb of God, the one who takes away the sins of the world he is the Lamb who suffered, died, and rose for our salvation’’. The Chalice and Wafer reminds us of the importance of the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
