“First Catch Mini”

“Named from my childhood memory of fishing with my dad. I hadn’t caught anything, and he and his friend got a small brook trout on the line and handed me the pole. They wanted me to think I caught a fish!”

John Maisano is fascinated by the artistic designs found in Celtic, African, Inuit and Tribal art which he incorporates into his sculptures. Each sculpture is inscribed with intricate designs derived from natural forms and structures. His sculptures range in size from treasures that can be held in the palm of one’s hand to larger-than-life monuments. His work focuses on graceful interpretations of animals shaped in a way that captures the life force of each animal and transforms it into something more.
