Crews work to restore sculptures by reclusive Chauvin artist in Nicholls State garden
A reclusive artist's sculpture garden in Chauvin is being restored after vandals and storms have chipped it away. Thirteen people gathered at the Kenny Hill Chauvin Sculpture Garden, 5337 Bayouside Dr., April 13 to remove broken down cement benches, throw down fresh mulch, and fill in holes with dirt. Among them was Greg Elliott. He and two other professional restorationists are working to repair the damages to the sculptures caused by Hurricane Ida and vandalism, a task he said likely will take nearly two years.
