Joseph Wheelwright

A master carver of stones, trees and bones for over thirty years, Wheelwright brings out the living force in rock and carves trees so that they become sentient creatures. Evidence of nature’s own artistry and works made by ancient civilizations provide the sculptor with steady inspiration. His creative process originates in the woods, on overland rambles in the surrounding pastures, where he tracks the expressive and figurative possibilities in the shapes encountered. Wheelwright lives and works in Boston and Vermont, where he maintains a foundry for casting his tree personages into bronze.
