          Sears      Sculptures      carvings and paintings.    Nova Scotia, Canada

Hey ... I got my gallery open!
Causeway Shopping Plaza, Barrington Passage!
Setting up my studio in back this winter.
New releases on display include ...
Fishermen - "Knitting Heads", small lobster fisherman, limited edition of 7
Marble - "Weary of War", realistic ancient warrior
Wildlife - Musk OX head, and Two Otters in ceramics - a new medium for me.
Currently working on a life sized Newfoundland dog in stone, and a carving of Jello Head with his horse.

In addition to wood carving, I also carve stone and marble, create in clay and plaster, and offer cast reproductions of my work. I also make a few paintings each year. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums and exploring their strengths and weaknesses.

My subjects of interest are local wildlife, lobster fishermen, carved portraits, local landmarks, and figurative or abstract works.

Recent events include a display at the MacKay Library in Shelburne, last March, a carving used for the independant movie "Snow" which was released this fall, and a picture of "the Cape Islander" carving is included in the grade 3 Social Studies book for the maritime provinces, as representing local culture.

I have begun working in ceramics and this fall I have added a couple of wildlife sculptures to my inventory at the gallery. I am using a hollow approach where only part of the animal is shown. Will get pictures on the web eventually. In the spring I will try to add a few unusual planting pots, shaped like leaves, flowers or other things. Just some light hearted play in clay for the gardeners out there.

Located in Nova Scotia, Canada

Custom orders and commissions are mostly welcome.

Hope the coming year is good to you and yours.
Regards,
Clifton
