originated "Symphony in Clay" a unique, high energy,

examples of Peter Rubino's talent for making bronze
come to life with vitality.

"Hope"

Peter Rubino created this symbolic sculpture

"Hope" for actor Joe Pantoliano's charity

"No Kidding Me Too"(NKM2). Mr. Pantoliano's mission

is to raise awareness about and remove the stigma

of mental illness. (www.nkm2.org).


The artistry of Mr. Rubino's sculpture "Hope" was

inspired by Mr. Pantoliano's film "Canvas"

and represents love, support, possibility
and hope. The Sculpture was recently
presented to Sally Field for her dignified portrayal
of characters with mental dis-ease,
at the annual NKM2 award ceremony, which took place

at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, California.
