The Lotus Sculpture Story

Lotus Sculpture is my dream come true.

When I was 18 and a Religion major at the University of Richmond I took my first trip to Asia. I have been addicted to foreign culture and travel since. I have spent the better half of my adult life exploring the world and enjoying the people and places where my odysseys have taken me.

I was constantly looking for something that would fuse my love for travel, foreign peoples and religions, with the reality of life and having a job. When I first discovered the stone and bronze of South India, it was like an epiphany. These are the people and the statues that I had been searching for all those years!

It makes me so happy to bring these exquisitely made statues to you.

My Personal Touch

I personally go to South India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Bali, and Cambodia twice a year to search the best pieces for Lotus Sculpture.

I hand-pick the bronze and stone directly from the artisans who make the piece; the same people whose ancestors started the famous Chola and Pala school of bronze casting and have been practicing this craft for generations.

I choose only the best pieces to take home, paying particular attention to the details. The beauty of the face, the details in the ornaments, the intricacies of the hands and the feet, and the overall proportion of the piece are what make a piece truly wonderful; worthy to be sold through Lotus Sculpture and to reside in your home.

Passion & Pride

The stories and mythology behind all religions have been my main interests since first reading Herman Hesse's "Siddartha".

The fabulous, mystical, and wondrous stories making up all religious myths and legends have never ceased to enthrall me.

To have the opportunity to travel to India to hear the stories of the Mahabharata epic, the Vedas, the Bhagavad-Gita and the Upanishads, from a Brahmin priest.

To have a discussion about the bronze casting process with the family who have spent the past four months of their time casting a Nataraja in bronze.

To discover the history, mythology, and the culture of a world outside of our own.

To bring the beauty of this world to you.

This is my passion.

This is the passion of Lotus Sculpture.
