“My work concentrates on materials and experimenting with their qualities. I am driven by my fascination with the unexpected results. I prefer organic materials, as they all change with time, just like I change when I begin to work with them.”

“I am interested in a sculptural approach to these materials, and also in finding unconventional solutions for connections. Each piece – even the similar ones – look different and are unique because every detail is handmade.”

kristina johlige tolstoy

Though art had been a driving force for most of her life, for a long time sculptor Kristina Johlige Tolstoy did not want to show her art because of the burden of her last name.

Pointed Head, The Innocent Man, Horn Cap

The great-granddaughter of renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, Johlige Tolstoy made peace with her given name and now enjoys the recognition she is receiving for her carved wood figurative sculptures.

christopher romer’s turned wood sculpture

Turned, sanded, painted, embellished. Chris Romer’s reclaimed wood sculptures are an interesting collection of oblong shapes that keep your eye searching and roaming. Romer uses a wide variety of reclaimed wood to create these beautiful sculptures – doors, pallets, table legs – even baseball bats.

Romer recently joined Margaret Boozer’s artists at Red Dirt Studios - can’t wait to see what he does while he is there.
