Sculptor George-Ann Tognoni, over the extraordinary course of her career, has created several large bronze works that have become Arizona landmarks - the three running Yearlings - at the west entrance of Scottsdale's civic mall being the most widely known.

At her studio on Northern Avenue in Phoenix, where passers-by have been enthralled for years by her signature piece - Magnificent Beast - Tognoni continues to translate her life into uniquely American sculpture and thrust fine art into the daily experience of thousands.
