Steven Stairs

Artist Statement 

For years, I designed and made custom residential furniture, pieces that involved hundreds of hours of skilled, detailed work.
     Sculpting is so much more fun! There's something about the rhythm of the mallet and gouge, the smell of fresh cut wood, that is immensely rewarding.
     I find the most inspiration in nature, water eroded rocks, the shape of bones and shells, pretty much anything that washes up on the beach.
    Making sculpture satisfies my need to create…
