Wayne Chabre

[2] Many of his sculptures are functional, such as gargoyles and downspouts; railings and gates; lighting, pavilions, fountains, and benches.

He attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, then joined the Peace Corps, where he served as a graphic designer in the Agricultural Information Service in Lesotho, Africa.

[12] He also created the bronze bas-relief entry panels to the Multnomah County Building in Portland.

[citation needed] The city of Stockton, California owns a Chabre sculpture, The Great Combine, commissioned in 2009.

[13] Also in Stockton, the Joan Darrah Marina has 23 pieces created by Chabre: A large cast bronze and stainless steel bench, 12 water jet cut aluminum medallions on light poles lining the marina, and 10 cast bronze finials atop gateways to the boat slips.
