ABOUT JOHN D. CARLSON...
My experience in sculpting faux rock began in September of 1986 creating artificial habitats for zoos and aquariums. Since then I have continually striven for a higher degree of detail in emulating the beautiful and sometimes bizarre facets of nature.  To study nature is to view a world of art continually in progress. 

Mother Earth, through her use of wind, water, heat, cold, and powerful geological upheavals, provides a multitude of forms and color pallets that have inspired artists the world over. To this end, I have dedicated my life in pursuit of perfecting the perfect imperfections of nature.
