Pat Cochran casts his sculptures and those of many artists in his Fine Arts Foundry in St. Lucie Village north of Ft. Pierce Florida
His own outdoor bronze sculptures can be found through out St.Lucie, Martin, and Broward Counties in Florida. In Ft. Pierce he is well known for his contributions to beautify the downtown area: in the roundabout at S. Indian River Drive and Citrus Avenue on U.S. 1 in front of the Ft.. Pierce Police Station , and on the Indian River at the South Beach Causeway behind the St. Lucie County Aquarium. Pat’s largest bronze sculpture, twenty-four feet high titled “Leap of Faith,”
is located on the walkway between the Ft. Pierce City Hall and the city parking garage.(Watch the making of “Leap of Faith” Video) In 2000 the Manatee Observation and Educational Center commissioned him to make twenty-five fiberglass manatees for its fundraiser “Sea Cows on Parade.” Some of them can still be seen around town — in front of the A. E. Backus Museum and Gallery, outside the Manatee Center, and in the lobby of Lawnwood Medical Center.
One of his most memorable commissions is at Digital Domain Field in Port St. Lucie, the N.Y. Mets Spring Training Facility.
