**Interview with Brett F. Harvey: Naples Sculptor Brings Life to Public Art**
**Interviewer:** Good morning, Brett! Thank you for joining us today. Congratulations on the unveiling of your impressive new statues around Naples. Can you share what inspired you to create these monumental pieces for the Naples Winter Wine Festival?
**Brett F. Harvey:** Thank you! It’s a pleasure to be here. The inspiration behind these pieces comes from my deep belief in community engagement. The Naples Winter Wine Festival has been pivotal in supporting at-risk children, and I wanted these statues to not only beautify the area but also to raise awareness about this vital cause. Each sculpture reflects the spirit of Naples and its commitment to nurturing our youth.
**Interviewer:** That’s wonderful to hear! Your work is prominently located in nine different locations. How did you select these spots, and what message do you hope to convey through their placement?
**Brett F. Harvey:** I chose locations that are iconic and frequented by both locals and visitors, like parks and public squares. My goal was to encourage contemplation and interaction with art in everyday life. Each statue tells part of the story of Naples, celebrating the culture and the community while simultaneously drawing attention to the festival’s mission.
**Interviewer:** Aside from the sculptures, there’s also a lot happening in Naples recently, including expert tips from productivity coach Faye. How do you believe art and productivity intersect in our daily lives?
**Brett F. Harvey:** Great question! Art can be a powerful source of inspiration and motivation. It encourages us to think creatively and allows our minds to wander, which is crucial for productivity. Surrounding ourselves with art in our workspaces can instill a sense of calm and focus, helping to enhance our output. I truly believe that a harmonious environment fosters both creativity and productivity.
**Interviewer:** I can definitely see that connection! Lastly, for those who may want to engage more with the local art scene, are there upcoming events or initiatives you’d recommend?
**Brett F. Harvey:** Absolutely! In addition to the unveiling of the statues, I encourage everyone to attend local art shows and community events, which often feature workshops and interactive installations. It’s a great way to meet local artists and get involved. The community aspect is what makes Naples’ art scene so vibrant and welcoming.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Brett, for sharing your insights! We’re excited to see your work transform our city and stimulate conversation around such important causes.
