Sunshine Symphony: Jill Sebastian's Eclipse, A Milwaukee Masterpiece

Head on over to Lake Bluff Terrace in the hub of Milwaukee and be mesmerized by Jill Sebastian's breathtaking sculpture, Eclipse. Wander among the captivating mosaics, feel the rainbow vibes underfoot, and watch the sun play hide-and-seek with the shimmering glass panels. Buckle up, buddy, this ride's a stunner!

Eclipse, a striking 10 feet on all sides, is the handiwork of Jill Sebastian, a talented artist and faculty member at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD). Perched on the beautiful Milwaukee Lakefront, Eclipse was birthed in 2003 following a 2000 commission. This sculpture has weaved its way into the city's skyline's fabric. Climbing its layers' isn't an option, but each layer stands tall, beaming with stories. Jill Sebastian, the sea siren of creators, is currently crafting a masterpiece for the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Over time, Eclipse has been lovingly maintained, so when you get up close, you'll see the intricate mosaic designs dancing with the hypnotic play of light on the glass, creating pure, unadulterated wonder.
