A true Artisan

If you've ever experienced the natural beauty where we live and work, you'll love these unique sculptures by local artisan Derek Green!


 
 We're so lucky to be surrounded by talented artisans - and Derek Green is no exception. Staples Design Group's showroom at 470 Huronia Rd. is exhibiting select pieces - imagine these unique pieces of art as a special gift for someone.  Derek's creations combine realism with impressionism in a unique style that reflects his sense of humour and his profound sense of beauty.


Working with a variety of materials, including bronze, steel, marble, alabaster and dolomite, Derek transforms physical substances into animals, birds and human figures that long to be touched and felt.



Derek Green is a true artisan,  and his observation of the world came during a decade in both the Canadian and Merchant Navies. It was in Puerto Rico Derek found his calling  to sculpting, leading to a fine arts degree at a Philadelphia university.  Settling soon after in Southern Ontario, he began to gradually build the reputation for his work that he now enjoys, a true journey in artistic expression.
Stop by anytime to view Derek's work at our showroom in Barrie, 470 Huronia Road 705-721-8585.
