Bio


Originally from England, Gary grew up with a love and enthusiasm for artistic endeavors, and was following a path to become a silversmith before moving to the USA as a young man. Following a significant health scare, Gary rediscovered his artistic inclinations through creative photography. He channeled the inspiration from his global travels into his 3D art, expertly blending elements of stone, wood, clay, and steel to create his pieces.

Artist Statement

I am an independent sculptor driven by self-empowerment, specializing in a contemporary approach to crafting captivating, reimagined forms.

 The essence of nature consistently serves as the focal point of my creations. Drawing from the organic world, my pieces are inspired by my environment, personal encounters, and emotions, aiming to resonate deeply with audiences on a tactile, intimate, and profound level.

 Through the exploration of an array of materials and techniques, I eagerly welcome the unexpected. From the diverse textures found in stone to the abstract remnants of coral, the vibrant allure of ceramic glazes, and the unpredictable nature of alternative firing methods, I utilize the inherent characteristics of these materials to accentuate the interplay of light, shadow, and the texture within each piece.

My artistic objective is to establish a profound connection between the viewer and the artwork, fostering an emotional impact that can stir hearts, initiate dialogues, and motivate others to embrace their innate creativity and distinctive voice.
