Shooner – Stainless Steel

The Marcus Ashley Gallery maintains an inclusive approach to curating and supporting the art of an eclectic range of artists. Our mission is to enhance the cultural identity and creative expression of local, national, and international talent. Visitors will be welcomed at the gallery by Lyman Whitaker art, an impressive collection of wind sculptures. These majestic structures stand tall and proud in the gallery’s lovely garden. Come by the gallery in Lake Tahoe to admire Whitaker’s work up close and take home a piece you love.

Whitaker’s Schooner sets us off to sea on a sailboat that bobs across a ripple of waves. The sculptor draws inspiration from the mastheads of a schooner, which is a sailing vessel with a foremast and mainmast. The calming palette of natural stainless steel gives the wind sculpture a lovely raw appeal. Whitaker carefully forges, pounds, and welds curved pieces of metal on separate supports. The design comes to life as the wind sculpture spins on its axis. Schooner is designed to make a bold statement wherever it is placed, be it in an open field, desert, beach, or botanical garden.

Interested buyers can group Whitaker’s pieces to create an attention-grabbing “wind forest.” Feel free to reach out to us for more information on Whitaker’s masterpieces.
