Despite the climate, two Wisconsin artists continue sculpting through winter months.

When Eau Claire winters are at their bleakest, professional artists Jason Anhorn and Steve Bateman set out to brighten the barren landscape. For eight weeks in January and February, the two artists carve blocks of compacted snow into larger-than-life sculptures in the city’s Boyd Park.
