LDS Sculptor Used Gospel to Reclaim Life
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- Utah sculptor Stan Watts says he has "seen
both sides." Watts was mired in habits that had taken control of his
life as recently as four years ago when he decided to turn to God for
help. To make the change, Watts wrote a mission statement, "To
enlighten the children of men through fine art" and implementing that
statement has turned his life around. He now works on his own
sculptures, instead of helping to fashion those of others, and has
created a bronze statue of Mormon Pioneers, ornate bronze doors for
the LDS Winter Quarters Temple and recently finished a 2,400-pound
life-size sculpture of the Founding Fathers that is on display at the
Gateway shopping center in Salt Lake City.
