Artist leaves behind a legacy in Janesville, Beloit

BELOIT It’s difficult to stroll through Janesville or Beloit and not see multiple sculptures created by artist O.V. “Verne” Shaffer. In Janesville, his work can be seen at the Janesville Woman’s Club, One Parker Place, the downtown branch of BMO Harris Bank, Hedberg Public Library and Rotary Botanical Gardens. It’s also visible on the Beloit College campus, Beloit’s Riverside Park, Beloit Memorial Hospital and at many other sites in Beloit and throughout Wisconsin. Shaffer died Feb. 16 in Princeton, Illinois, where he was born. He was 93. “This is the end of a legacy,” said Jerry Sveum, president of the Beloit Art Center Board of Directors. “He has created more public art than any artist in Wisconsin.”
