ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Born and raised in a small town in Ohio, Joshua was raised with an appreciation for nature and history. Joshua left Ohio at age 19 to attend the University of South Florida in Tampa, where he earned a Bachelors Degree in American Studies. Seeking a change of pace and eager to live near the Rocky Mountains, he then moved to New Mexico where he has lived for six years. His familiarity with stone began when last employed in Santa Fe, NM, where a bit of free rein with stone tools enabled him to teach himself some of their uses. Presently, in his stonework, Joshua enjoys exploring the juxtaposition of high polish or finish against natural surface: “It has always amazed me that an often overlooked and ordinary stone can reveal such beauty beyond the exterior.” This basic principle pervades many of Joshua’s pieces. His use of natural materials such as stone, wood, and metal provide a limitless array of possibilities in functional sculpture and furniture.

Jill Shwaiko and Josh are uniting their talents to create beautiful sculptures. The pieces are a union of Jill's large bronze sheep and Josh's granite fountains! The bronze sheep are a limited edition of 15 and each fountain is a unique stone of local, Cerrillos granite.
