Stan Peterson: Horsing Around

Stan Peterson carves and paints narrative/figurative sculptures with a contemporary edge. He is primarily a self-taught artist and has a love of folk art and outsider art.

Stan’s preferred medium is basswood because it allows for details and it can be easily cut with chisels and knives. Basswood is the traditional carving wood for carousel animals. The artist’s sculptures are often finished with milk paints, acrylic washes, and thinned shellac.
