Read Maarten’s Bio
After spending several years carving in his spare time, in 1991 Maarten made the difficult decision to leave the family business to focus full-time on his art. He developed a series of lyrical works that captured the joy of the birds and animals on the West Coast. Maarten became known for his whales, eagles, dolphins and seals and worldwide interest in his work began to grow. Maarten’s early works were part of the Royal B.C.

Two of these sculptures ‘Heartless and Delicate Balance’ are now showcased in The Bob Wright Centre For Ocean Earth And Atmospheric Sciences At The University Of Victoria.
