CV
Gary Boote, Sculptor
Gary works from his home studio backing onto the bush with bell birds tinkling in the background.
Some sculptors and most galleries discourage touching sculptures. To reach out to touch and feel one of his sculptural pieces is the highest compliment that person can pay him.
Gary works in marble, sandstone, limestone, alunite, bronze and Masterworks. He obtains a great deal of satisfaction creating a special sculpture to a client's requirements.
