I create hand-carved wood sculptures and community art experiences that invite people to participate in storytelling, imagination, and shared meaning within public spaces.
About the Artist
Sawtistic is a Baltimore County–based multidisciplinary artist working in wood sculpture, color, and narrative art. Known for hand-carved characters and interactive community installations, his work bridges fine art, storytelling, and public engagement—inviting viewers of all ages into imaginative, participatory worlds.Artist's Statement
My practice centers on contemporary wood sculpture, social practice, and narrative art. I work primarily with reclaimed and raw wood, using chainsaws and hand tools to carve character-based forms that invite interaction rather than passive viewing. A significant part of my work involves community painting experiences, where participants help complete a sculpture through guided, collaborative engagement. These projects often culminate in permanent installations within libraries and other public spaces, emphasizing accessibility, imagination, and collective authorship. Through this approach, my work explores how storytelling, craft, and participation can foster connection and shared ownership of public art.Booking
