Senator Jerry Moran honored Kansas sculptor Pete Felten, a 2026 Arts Awards Legacy winner, known for 28 limestone sculptures and Capitol portraits.
Senator Jerry Moran honored the passing of Kansas sculptor Pete Felten, a Hays native and 2026 Kansas Governor’s Arts Awards Legacy winner, known for his 28 limestone sculptures across Ellis County and eight-foot-tall portraits of notable Kansans at the Capitol rotunda, installed in 1981.
Felten, who began sculpting in 1957 after Navy service, used Silverdale limestone and declined to sign his Capitol works, calling them a collective tribute.
In 2024, bronze plaques were added to credit him.
