Lionsgate Concrete Wall at Stirling Law in Vancouver

I have so much respect for designers with bold visions!!  The ripple effect is being commissioned to produce incredibly fun works like this reception feature wall designed by Beyond Beige Interior Design for Stirling Law's new office in Pacific Center.  Referenced from the Lions gate bridge this bas-relief needed to be light weight for placement and a quick install.  The lion was hand sculpt from foam, hard coated in polyurethane and the wall was faux concrete paint finished.  We installed the lion and painted the wall in a day.  I have to say after mixing concrete for 15 years - it was incredibly satisfying to faux finish that will with paint. 

Bowen Island Sculptor

Sculpting from Bowen Island

Over the past ten years living on Bowen Island I've had the pleasure to partially work from home.  While 90% of my work is completed onsite due to scale, some projects are small enough to create right here at home.  Nearly all of my projects are commission based and nature seems to be a fitting market for an artist living on the roughed and wild west coast of Canada.  It's hard not to be inspired by nature when you live in this environment.  It's even harder to rationalize how we see ourselves as separate from nature as if we have somewhere else to live....ahhh humans....

Translucent Resin Sculptures

This work was purely to test a new gel resin material I had made by specific request.  I wanted a translucent gel that I could brush into a one piece mold so that I didn't have to pour full molds (very expensive) or make complicated molds for monolithic sculptural works.  The material worked great and I cast two fish, one placed outdoors and one indoors for over four years.  They are both still in excellent condition.  It's an excellent product for large scale translucent sculptures, perfect for indoors or outdoors.

Burke Mountain Pioneer Park Opening Day May 2018

The rain stopped and the sun came out for the official opening of Burke Mountain Pioneer Park in Coquitlam BC.  It was a really nice opening with a tasty bbq, live music, fun games and a few words from the City of Coquitlam and Wesbild.  The beautiful 4.4 acre park was designed by Durante Kreuk Ltd. Landscape Architecture and funding was shared equally by the City of Coquitlam and Wesbild.  It was a pleasure working on this project and we're thrilled to have provided the sculptural play equipment.

NEW Resin Snow and Ice!

Coyote footprint in snow

Wavestone now produces snow and ice for interactive exhibits!  These samples were recently developed for an indoor visitor centre which requires an extremely tough material for public contact.  The snow and ice look exceptionally real especially when placed within our rock work!  The snow and ice can withstand any climate condition and is suitable for underwater designs - such as polar exhibits!

YVR Larry Berg Flight Path Park

Wavestone Sculpture in collaboration with Three Dimensional Services produced a 34' sculpture of planet earth.  The sculpture is the centerpiece for the new Larry Berg Flight Path Park located at the Vancouver Airport.  Visitors are encouraged to climb and explore the earth dome to discover various interpretive elements.  The park opened this fall 2013.

Work on display at Van Dusen

Two works on display until Aug 5 at Van Dusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver.
