GALLERY
Welcome to the gallery page of Garskey Creative, where you can view unique handcrafted carvings, paintings and assemblages to purchase. I invite you to explore my art pieces and creative projects.
Hand carved Monuments
These one of a kind sculptures use the juxtaposition of the bark dancing on the stone to create a magical synergy. The hand carved eternal loop represents a promise made or a dream in waiting. The bark is an obvious symbol of protection and the grains and rough bark sections are as unique as each of us. These dreams and promises are anchored on cold, hard stone - representing the unforgiving world we often have to navigate. Although, the stone is also the foundation from which we launch our greatest journeys.
Series I featured below.
Limited series of 60.
All pieces are numbered.
Carvings are approximately 10×10×15cms and created from foraged Alberta Cottonwood bark and locally discarded geology samples. Various finishes are applied.
$40-$65

Traditional bark dudes
I always wanted to make these. I found some bark on the ground at work and was gifted some tools.
I created these in the same traditions as all peoples who came before me, with great respect for nature, and as a request for protection and safe passage.
All traditional dudes are made from foraged Cottonwood bark. Finished with linseed or tung oil.
$10 - $75

Paintings
I started painting again after finding raw canvas, stretched canvases and other rigid structures like old drawers and shipping crates at my job. All destined for the trash. I took it as a sign.
I paint because I love expression through colour and form. I paint because I find things my brain wants to turn into other things. And because I take lots of pictures and have lots of ideas that need places to go... while listening to hours of Radiohead. No good reason. Lots of small ones. Just have too. Balance I guess. Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Beer label assemblages
Please enjoy my Beer label assemblages or BLA's. I truly hope you enjoy their simple whimsy as much as I enjoyed assembling them. (And drinking the beer). These actually helped me smile again after a very dark period of my life. I didnt have a lot, but these helped me see what was important and that I had everything I needed.
Works are framed in 8×10's matted to 5×7 unless noted otherwise.
