Ed Adams Unveils New Hope’s “Angel of Hope”

Critically acclaimed painter and sculptor Edward M. Adams of Lambertville, NJ unveiled his new “The Angel of Hope” sculpture/fountain at the grand opening of Occasions special event facility at Union Square in New Hope, PA Keynote speaker Congressman Jim Greenwood and over 100 local dignitaries attended the opening ceremony.

“The Angel of Hope reminds us that without hope we live in darkness -- a world of no possibilities,” Adams said. “With hope, all that we imagine becomes real. As water flows from the Angel, use her as a source to renew a commitment that makes certain the best is yet to come. Look at the Angel of Hope and be touched by her spirit.”

Adams created the Angel of Hope sculpture/fountain to show appreciation of life and all of the gifts life brings, making hope strong and vital in our hearts as individuals, a community, and a nation sharing a singular world. A 12-inch bronze limited edition reproduction of the Angel of Hope sculpture is available through the E.M. Adams Gallery.

Commissioned by the George E. Michael Family, this sculpture is installed at “Occasions,” the special event space located in Union Square in New Hope, PA. Occasions is adjacent to the Michener Museum and across from the E.M. Adams Gallery. The plaque near the sculpture reads, “Despite Uncertainty, Hope endures. The Angel of Hope opens her wings and stands timeless in the promise…the best is yet to come.” The sculpture is currently open to the public.

Other sculptures created by Adams demonstrate his ability to interpret human experience into two or three dimensional works of art. Adams was commissioned to create a bust of Schindler for Steven Spielberg to thank him for making the movie, Schindler’s List. Adams was also commissioned to create a thirteen foot bronze sculpture entitled, Courage and Compassion. This monumental sculpture honors Raoul Wallenberg andis located in a public park in Parsippany, NJ.
