Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum is dedicated to providing educational experiences that encourage the understanding and appreciation of sculpture. The accessible sculptures are coated in wax so that anyone with any disability might be able to “see” them with their hands, if need be.

The author would like to thank the staff of Umlauf for their willingness to have one of their sculptures featured on the cover of this book and their excitement to be recognized for their mission for all, regardless of disability, to enjoy the power of Umlauf’s work
