Gavin Gardner has nearly 30 years of experience working as a classical sculptor. He has designed coins for the United States Treasury and worked on bronze statues for the Baltimore Orioles, the Boston Red Sox, the Miami Dolphins, the U.S. Capital, and for numerous churches. His reliefs have won the Dexter Jones Award from the National Sculpture Society and have been finalist winners in the prestigious Portrait Society of America's International Competition.

Throughout high school, he trained privately with master sculptors and carvers from the Washington National Cathedral. In 2000, he graduated with a BFA in Sculpture from the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, CT. After working as a full time artist for 15 years, he decided to return to school with the goals of diversification and teaching. In 2019, he graduated with an MFA in Painting from Laguna College of Art and Design in Laguna Beach, CA.

Gardner loves learning new art forms and integrating them with sculpture. His masters focused on painted 3-dimensional forms. He also learned how to make pottery, jewelry, and books in order to explore this fusion with classical sculpture.

Teaching is a great passion and he has taught privately in his studio for many years, in college, middle school and high school. Scroll down to see more images of his work.
