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.

Cool sculpture dad but this grass hill is amazing!
