Mrs. Kathy Guidone designed this sculpture in memory of her friend and

colleague Jan Flick.  Mrs. Guidone taught Art with Miss Flick in the

Louisville Public Schools. Miss Flick passed away unexpectedly and Mrs.

Guidone wanted to honor her memory with a work of art.  The stainless

steel, construction, and installation of the sculpture was donated by a

local company, Midlake Products Inc.  The concrete for its base was also

donated. The tiles within the sculpture were made and designed by

Louisville Middle School students from lessons that were taught to them by Miss Flick.  The tiles are glazed ceramic and represent the creativity of each individual student as they sought to memorialize Miss Flick.  Since the sculpture is meant to be a living memorial, the tiles are

interchangeable and will be rotated regularly. The sculpture is located

outside the Louisville Middle School in Louisville, Ohio.  It is a

wonderful piece of art and a fitting tribute to a beloved art teacher.

There is a website about Jan Flick and the memorial which can be accessed

through Louisville Middle School’s site at www.midleps.spsarcc.org.
