Sandy Scott's sculpture is the centerpiece of a courtyard dedicated to Western artist Howard Terpning, located off Ferguson Hall near Marshall Hall and the gift shop. The courtyard was a gift of Terpning's wife, Marlies, to honor his contributions to the hospital. Sandy Scott, a former pilot whose work is a favorite of Terpning's, uses her knowledge of aerodynamics to portray the beauty and movement of birds in flight. She was influenced by Rodin's use of movement and natural distortion, altering elements but preserving their characteristic appearance. One of the most acclaimed wildlife sculptors in America, Scott's work has been exhibited all over the country. This bronze eagle, titled "Above it All," is also in the collection of the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, OK.
