SCOTT BRUCKNER
OCTOBER 2019 FEATURED ARTIST
​COAL GALLERY, CARLSBAD
​Scott began wood sculpting in 1995 in Santa Clarita, California, working with found objects and cast-off construction materials. His work has won multiple awards in local art exhibitions, and his sculptures are in private collections in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Ventura, San Diego county, Scottsdale, St. Louis and Minneapolis.
October 2019   |   Featured Artist Dean Butterfield

​Sculptural Works in Wood, Stone and Bronze.
     Dean was first inspired to sculpt in wood following a visit to the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, British Columbia the summer of 2011. In 2013, Dean took up stone sculpture at the Laguna College of Art & Design in Laguna Canyon. Dean later enrolled in Saddleback College, where bronze would be the next medium for him to explore. He continues to be both student and artist honing his craft.
     Dean now lives in Oceanside, and does most of his work in Fallbrook. “In retrospect, the qualities, talents and skills of the young marine, the land surveyor, and the adventurer had found new form in the man as an artist,” he notes. “I am inspired by the places that I’ve been and things that I know. Shape, form, line, exactness, the singing geckos of Costa Rica, the long wing of an Alaskan Golden Eagle, a mother and child and the angels that I’ve known. The polar bears and penguins represent adventures still to come.” –Butterfield
