There are azaleas to represent Norfolk and lupins to repre- sent Halifax and on the back of the lobster is a map of Hal- ifax’s waterfront. “I wanted to have the past and the present to show the history of Nova Scotia,” stated Valverde. She spent approximately two weeks working on the lobster and noted as she is chiefly a por- trait painter, “It was quite a challenge to do this but I’m so thankful I was able to do it and to create a positive and happy feel. It represents the joy I have, living in this beau- tiful area.” Valverde described the sculpture as providing a chance for children and adults to interact with it. “I thought about the height, so kids could look at it and see the happy face, and they could go behind it and look at the map.” Before Goose Bay depart- ed, members of the committee gathered in the Dockyard on Thursday, April 12 to view the lobster one last time before Goose Bay sailed on Monday, April 16.
