The Artist, Carter Taylor Seaton

Sculptures | Work In Progress | Home

Over the years, I've studied with such master sculptors as Paul Lucchesi at the Loveland Academy of Fine Arts in Loveland, Colorado and with Peter Rubino, Eugene Daub, Steven Perkins and Stanley Bleifeld at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

In 2000 I received a scholarship from the Mountain State Art & Craft Fair and a Professional Development Grant from the West Virginia Commission on the Arts to further my studies in sculpture.

All of my creations are made from water-based clay, fired and finished with a variety of patinas. I make the finished product in clay rather than casting it in bronze because I believe everyone should be able to own and enjoy orginal art. Completing my designs in bronze would make them too expensive for most people. Additionally, no casts are made and no duplications are possible. Therefore, each piece is an orginal work of art.
