Justin Gordon

Juried Artist Member since 2022

Justin Gordon, from Groveland, MA, is a self-taught sculptor and wood carver since 1974 and professionally since getting laid off from an engineering job in 1991. Justin now sculpts in eight mediums: ice, snow for ski areas, clay for ceramics and bronzes, wax for the jewelry industry, stone, foam, wood, and sand. Sand sculpting has taken Justin from Oman and Kuwait to Taiwan, to England, and all over the US and Canada. He also did annual sand sculptures at the Topsfield Fair, the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex Junction, VT, and still does the Hampton Beach Masters Sand Sculpting Competition. On occasions Justin has also done giant scale tree carvings using chainsaws and chisels for Storyland in NH and private commissions throughout New England. Now Justin mostly concentrates on sand sculpting and wood carvings of architectural carved elements, custom clock cases, gun stocks, and figurative sculptures from fine art to caricatures and bronzing. And he’ll consider any commission request. He’s also an active member of the New England Wood Carvers, the New England Sculptors Association, the Newburyport Art association, the Rockport Art Association & Museum, and he’s been teaching wood carving in Groveland since 1996.
