Mike Martino (Art BFA, 1977) is involved in the 30th annual Winterfest, which features complex snow sculptures that serve as the festival’s centerpiece. These sculptures are being built in Lake Geneva.

Martino is competing on one of the Wisconsin teams that are sculpting a piece called “Inner Child.” According to a Journal Times article, the inspiration for “Inner Child” comes from Martino and his team’s early childhood experiences: “some are comforting; some are traumatic.”
