Terry W Schaub has been creating his own distinctive style of sculpture for 28 years. His mediums have been diverse. Originally, starting out with clay, Terry explored the versatility and malleability of that medium. From there he moved on to try his hand at mold making and casting but found that the repeated replication, of a previously one of a kind piece, did not fulfill his need to create. This led him to the decision to concentrate his efforts on finding the medium that inspired him the most. Shortly thereafter he was introduced to working in stone. The permanence of it intrigued him. The variations in color and patterns captured him. He felt an even greater passion ignite and has sculpted in stone since that time. MORE
