Larry is an artist who defies categorization because his approach to creativity is constantly evolving. Larry primarily works with wood. He creates both fine and functional art that embraces a wide range of themes: from nature-scene architectural motifs to stand-alone abstract sculptures. Many residents of Sun Valley, Idaho, Santa Fe, New Mexico - and Aspen, Colorado have collected his work during the forty five years he has been a professional sculptor.
Some of Larry's most notable accomplishments in recent years include a monumental tree sculpture commissioned by Joshua Creek Ranch in Boerne, TX. The entire story is in our tree sculpture portfolio: https://larry-lefner.squarespace.com/config/
The Fly Fisherman Tree Sculpture commissioned by the town of Basalt is a favorite with locals in the Roaring Fork Valley, and the memorial sculptural bench in front of the Woody Creek Tavern is one more original Lefner.
Mosaic Sculpture is Larry's unique method of sculpting wood. It is a composition of colorful hardwoods, so we call it 'Mosaic Sculpture'. It is a technique created by Larry alone. Sometimes we describe it as 'mixed wood' sculpture. People think the many colors in the sculptures are paint; but the color is different types of wood. These works of art are amazing to behold.
Larry is available by appointment and welcomes commissions for fine art and architectural enhancements, such as mantles, doors and entrance-ways.
