Lyle London:
Studied with sculptor Varujan Boghosian and numerous visiting artists (Larry Zox, Dimitri Hadzi, Robert Indiana, Jack Zajac and others) at Dartmouth College in the late 1960’s. Zajac’s style of biomorphic abstraction has had a lasting influence on his work. After several years of carving stone and practical experience in the art bronze foundry, he began working primarily in metal. The intimate scale and pronounced formalism of earlier cast bronze pieces have given way to an increasing body of large scale commissioned works mostly in copper and stainless steel. Another important change in London’s work has come from incorporating a greater sense of spontaneity and fluidity through the use of high-tech fabrication techniques. Sculptures integrating water features and kinetic motion have appeared since 1985. 
  This sculpture illustrates the complex dynamics of a breaking wave. The piece is typical of the artist's style of organic abstraction and it was a tribute to John Lennon.
Love his works.

Debora Moore:
Working in glass since the late 1980's. Her awards and exhibitions include the Rakow Commission and the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft. The list of Debora's professional travels grows by the year and covers several continents. She has researched moss and lichen in Antarctica and observed orchids in tropical rainforests in Asia, examining how these plants live in their natural environment. She combines realism and  imagination in her sculpture, meditating on the glorious wonder of nature and celebrating its power and mystery. 

I would have to say she is truly a gifted artist. the first time I saw her pieces I cried and that does not happen very often. It was actually kind of embarrassing but I got over it since her pieces really speak more than anyone can ever imagine.
