Dutton Memorial - Public Sculptures

Featured In Nantucket, Nantucket, MA

$ On Inquiry

This bench serves as a memorial for a couple in Nantucket. As art collectors, they wanted something unusual. I carved the curved seat into a boulder of Verde Antique Marble, which was quarried in the thirties in Cavendish, VT. I wanted to leave most of the weathered surfaces to contrast with the polished green seat. Names and dates are engraved on the lip of the seat. From the back the piece looks like a natural boulder. It is placed in the oldest cemetery in Nantucket, which also contains the remains of 22 ship captains.

Medium: Marble.

Sculpture in Stone and Bronze

My work is inspired by natural forms – human, plant and animal. I enjoy designing site-specific commissions in stone and bronze for corporations, private residential settings and public institutions. In between commissioned work I produce pieces that I often have on hand for sale in stone and bronze. I also design and create gold jewelry, often using subjects related to some of my larger sculptures. I am constantly trying to find ways to use my work to raise awareness about the kinship and interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of environmental conservation.

I began my study and practice of sculpture while a student at Phillips Exeter Academy in the late ’60’s. I went on to Oberlin College and majored in a combination of studio art and art history. After graduating from Oberlin in 1973, I taught sculpture and art at all levels for many years until finally focusing my attention completely on my work.
