One of my newest joys is discovering 3D bas relief sculpture art and am enjoying it thoroughly!
Here are the recent pieces I’ve finished.
A Walk in The Woods 32x48
SOLD! “A WALK IN THE WOODS” is a Hanging plaster relief. I created this after looking at various images of woods and envisioning adding a path that would invite the viewer to “enter” the painting. I painted it with a mixture of glazing techniques and a little splash of color to hint at fall colors. It measures 32″ x 48″ and some of the tree limbs protrude 4″ from the canvas. This piece hung at the Pivot Point Gallery in Knoxville, TN and is now overlooking the dining table of a wonderful family.
Plaster relief is made on a lightweight concrete board surface and reinforced plaster is applied in layers that are then hand carved before it can completely dry. Reliefs are sealed with a UV protective coating.

Into The Woods
SOLD!! “INTO THE WOODS ” is a Hanging Plaster Relief work in triptych (3 12×32 panels = 32×36). I envisioned this walk in the woods and was going to paint this in a watercolor and decided it would make an interesting relief. It won 3 seperate awards at our Knoxville Juried Show in August of 2022.
It is made on a lightweight concrete board surface and reinforced plaster is applied in layers and is hand carved before it can completely dry. This one was painted although many of my plaster reliefs are just glazed. $2700

Spring Dogwoods Relief 11x28 (2 part)
Dogwoods are very popular in East Tennessee. I love the shape of the tree, the tiny delicate flowers and even the progressions of the little flower’s appearance. I was inspired to reproduce these in my plaster relief method. I shaped each calendar individually and then attached them to the main backing.

On Eagles' Wings
On Eagle’s Wings was a very inspiring work for me. I wanted to do a bald eagle with mountains and it had to be a sculpture rather than a painting. This piece measures 25x32x6″ and is currently hanging in a gallery in Knoxville, Tennessee, but is being offered for sale. $1299.
For best lighting we recommend hanging close to a ceiling light or have a light installed above in order to bring out the shadows of the sculpture.
