In mid-July 2025, Austen Brantley’s sculpture Mother and Child was unveiled in Madison, WI’s Darbo-Worthington neighborhood. The bronze of a young mother holding her newborn baby is installed at the base of the Starkweather Creek Pedestrian/Bike Path bridge. “This project has been a long time coming, and I am so proud to complete this piece for the City of Madison,” said Brantley. “It has been a pleasure working on this commission and I hope Mother and Child is enjoyed by viewers for generations to come.”
