The concept of fossil fish and plants as art or sculpture is vastly different from the traditional views of fine art. However, there’s none other than the art of mother nature, time, and the vast valleys that make up who we are. From a simple visual and creative perspective, the work quickly converts the viewer, and in the home, truly creates the perfect perspective of time, our short existence therein, and aesthetic beauty.

Prehistoric objects like fossils are traditionally reserved for the realm of science, natural history museums, or dry dusty deserts in remote parts of the world. However, they can now be added to that list of highly sought-after works of art as they enter corporate art collections, museums of every kind and the homes of the world’s most influential art buyers.

The fossils are quarried, honed down, prepared, and mounted for gallery presentation. A process that takes over a year as battling the elements, is a huge factor. Collectors include architects, interior designers, and art lovers of every kind. Every work is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece of art using authentic 50-million-year-old fossils.

The fossils require great skill and patience to present as they are preserved in limestone. The fossils are quarried from rich layers of stone by hand from a private quarry in southwestern Wyoming. The stone is then transported to the prep labs, where the stone is transformed into finished works of art. With small chisels and micro sandblasters, you’ll find texture and shape in the stone. The execution of these works are always conscious of the aesthetic beauty and composition.

Beyond the physical beauty of these works, one is struck by the reality of their age and the passage of time. Not in the sense of days, weeks, or years as we are accustomed, but in tens of millions of years, the time required to transform living creatures into solid stone.
