“Bee Fairy”, or Hopi Bee fairy (Hopbee), is part of a trio of delicate fairies. My goal was to explore the idea of how we interact with nature and are affected by its beauty. Each fairy represents how we respond and rely on the beauty of nature for our existence. As an artist I enjoy creating somewhat unusual pieces in hopes of evoking a deeper emotional response.

John Maisano is fascinated by the artistic designs found in Celtic, African, Inuit and Tribal art which he incorporates into his sculptures. Each sculpture is inscribed with intricate designs derived from natural forms and structures. His sculptures range in size from treasures that can be held in the palm of one’s hand to larger-than-life monuments. His work focuses on graceful interpretations of animals shaped in a way that captures the life force of each animal and transforms it into something more.
