Adrian Stanciu has been creating wooden works of art for the past 30 years. Wood gives him the opportunity to combine art, creativity, and construction, while releasing the unique beauty only mother nature can create. With environmental sustainability at the forefront, his turnings typically come from trees that are dead or diseased and would otherwise be destined for the fireplace, or from driftwood, or dead trees off the forest floor. He finds special joy rescuing these woods, giving the trees a second life, and allowing numerous individuals to appreciate the inner beauty for countless years to come. His work varies from fragile decorative pieces to items that provide daily functionality while connecting us, hands-on, to the beautiful medium that is wood. Adrian was showcased in numerous galleries in Colorado’s Front Range. Since moving to the Oregon coast, his work is now in a number of galleries along the coast of northern Oregon and southern Washington.
