Message
Public art sculpture 'Annie's Peace' was created by local artist Betty Branch and is located in Roanoke's Vic Thomas Park. Branch sculpted the piece using bronze because she wanted the work to change over time. As time progresses, the bronze will oxidize from the elements and change color.
Betty Branch has previously exhibited work in Roanoke and is known for her figurative style. Branch has been featured in The Roanoke Times, The Roanoker, and the 25th Annual Sidewalk Art Show. She currently maintains a studio and gallery here in Roanoke, called Betty Branch Sculpture Studio and Gallery.
