Enchanted Gardens

Sculptures by John Benedict 

Steel, Copper, & Glass Sculptures

Enchanted Gardens will feature 20 whimsical sculptures made from steel, copper, glass, and other natural materials. Garden fairies and larger than life critters will sit among the plants and flowers.


John Benedict was born in Dallas, Texas. After moving around to different places for a few years, he made his home in Tucson, Arizona, where he lives today with his wife and children. John has done many different types of art, including murals, nightclub theming, haunted house theming, gates, doors, faux finish painting, furniture, photography, and fossil and dinosaur egg restoration. John has since settled into metal art— creating sculptures, wall hangings, chess sets, and steampunk critters and fish. John’s work can be seen in collections as far away as Taiwan, Tennessee, and right here in Tucson and has been published in “American Art Collectors”.
