 Welcome to LadyKindness.com 

  On Saturday, August 17th, 2024, we will unveil a unique work of sculptural art, "Lady Kindness ", a monument to softness and selfless giving, chiseled in hard, enduring stone. The event, an evening of flowing lights and music, wine and delicacies, will take place at Cadobaz (Culture, Arts, and Dining of Bazetta), in Northeastern Ohio. We would be honored by your presence. 

  "Lady Kindness" was conceived six years ago, amidst strife and division in our country and in the world, and its execution spanned the years or the COVID pandemic which, sadly, deepened our wounds. Time may not, but kindness will, heal all wounds! Kindness is boundless and powerful. "Lady Kindness" offers a rose, symbol or love, to each and everyone, but especially to the neglected, the abandoned, the forgotten.  

  "Lady Kindness" is designed in Hellenistic grandeur; its floral detail fashioned in an-deco style. It is entirely built of white Carrara marble, weighing nearly 80 tons. It is robotically carved and hand polished. With its Corinthian pedestal, it stands tall al 29.3 feet. It is, to our knowledge, the largest ever robotically carved marble sculpture. To our knowledge, it is also the tallest freestanding marble sculpture in America. It is constructed to brave the Ohio weather and destined to dwell under the firmament.
