Larry Scaturro

“My medium is wood.  My focus is figurative and abstract forms.  All pieces are hand carved and finished to accentuate the beauty of the wood grain.

I feel that wood and stone carving are becoming ever rarer forms of artistic expression.  It takes time and patience to complete a carving, and mistakes can be unforgiving.  Being obsessed with shapes and forms and the love of my material is what keeps me excited about the sculptures I make.

My hope is that I might inspire others to take up this meticulous art form that I love so much”
