Many people are collectors. For some, it’s comic books. For others, old cars. For Jean Linard, it’s his own massive works of art.

Color, size and shape. These are the tools of Jean Linard’s craft, boldly on display in his own sculpture garden, which features massive slices of wrought steel and paint, scattered throughout his yard and attached firmly to his home. Whether for the enjoyment of visitors or to satisfy his own creative impulses, whatever Linard is trying to do, it’s working.
