Sculpture and Bas Relief by Patrick Gracewood

My art connects culture, nature, and spirituality.

Mortality and Eternity. Humor. It's all in the mix.

Gracewood Studio features the sculpture and bas relief of Patrick Gracewood.

The studio also offers design and sculpture services to architects,

landscape designers and the public. I work with clients to create meaningful commissioned art.

Visit my blog to learn about about sculpture, process, and to see what's happening in the studio.
