Artist Statement:
Crystal Lockwood was born in
Sacremento, California in
1963. Crystal began sculpting
in natural wood in 1980 at the
young age of 17, when her
unique talents for sculpture
began to emerge. Her main
passion for sculpture is to
portray the human figure,
revealing a metamorphosis of
the figure emerging from the
wood. Crystal carves
original, one-of-a-kind
sculptures out of woods that
she personally selects for
their natural beauty and
inherent energy. Choosing the
wood is an integral part of
her creative process. Crystal
gathers wood from the coasts
of California and the forests
of Hawaii. Crystal received a
degree in Art History at the
University of California,
Santa Barbara in 1987.

ancient Greek sculpture, the
works of Michelangelo and
Rodin, and the more modern
work of Manuel Neri.

bronze. The beauty of making
casts of wood sculptures is
that the original is not lost
in the mold making process.
