Anyone who's been house-hunting the in the Heights lately knows that land prices are going up, up, and up! But deep in the heart of the Woodland Heights, you can find a small bastion against the real estate rat race: a sculpture garden on an empty lot. The lot was purchased together by several neighbors to showcase the creations of Arnold Van Ek, a longtime Heights resident who immigrated to Houston from The Netherlands.
Learn all about each piece in the sculpture garden by visiting Arnold Van Ek's website. Van Ek, a self-taught artist, jokes that his artistic pursuits were "briefly interrupted by a career in the chemical engineering field."
The sculpture garden is a wonderful little green space for the Heights community to share. While we were taking pictures, a mother and son stopped to explore.
