Original Toronto Star caption: Ex-banker is carving new niche in his life. Martin Machler; a Mississauga wood sculptor; has made his mark on the walls of the Mississauga Arts Council; located in the civic centre. There are herons; eagles; wolves and lambs. Here; he puts the finishing touches on a cat. But his talent almost went undiscovered. He entered banking because of family pressure. The exhibit of Machler's wall relief sculptures continues until the end of February.
