“I harken back to my childhood with this sculpture. To this day I am a huge fan of bees because of honey. Anytime someone travels somewhere I ask for a jar of honey. I’ve been like that since I was a kid. So I’m a huge fan of bees and the fact that we need to protect them.”

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.
