Casey McCafferty
Casey McCafferty is a sculptor who specializes in wood, stone, and metal. His inspiration comes from his interest in mythology and love of nature. McCafferty uses the form of direct carving to produce his works. Sketching for planning is seldom done and templates are never used. Each piece he creates is unique and an expression of his inner world he is trying to bring to life.
