Dave Stevenson has created sculpture at studios in California, Montana and the Caribbean. He chose these spots for scenic inspiration and ready access to snowboarding, surfing, rock climbing, swimming, biking…

Stevenson isn’t precisely sure what compels him to Make Things. But he claims that his creative process is as natural and explosive as charging down a mountain on his board; as harrowing and energizing as crawling up cliffs. The fluid, arcing contours of his sculptures express the rhythm and dynamics of these pursuits. Speed, form and balance.

Stevenson’s sculptures can be seen in the New York City headquarters of Pfizer Inc., the office of film director James Cameron, and in many private collections across the States and abroad. The stainless steel wall-relief he created for Lightstorm Entertainment is a 3-D interpretation of Cameron’s company logo. An animated version of it appears at the head of the Lightstorm films True Lies and Strange Days. His sculptures have also appeared in films produced by Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions and Garden of Eden Productions.

In 2005, the artist was commissioned by acclaimed DVD producer Van Ling to commemorate the creation of Paramount/Fox’s TITANIC: Special Collector’s Edition DVD set. Docked at an elegant brass pedestal, his sterling silver Titanic is both a pendant and a lapel pin. The limited edition sculpture was presented by Ling to 100 cast and crew members of Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster, as a thank-you gift for their support and collaboration on the DVD project. Another notable commission was a commemorative bracelet celebrating former president Bill Clinton’s 60th birthday. Stevenson’s 18K white gold design was auctioned at the William J. Clinton Foundation fundraiser held at the Museum of Natural History. Recent projects include a multi-media collaboration with Seattle-based choreographer Cheronne Wong, for which the artists were awarded three grants. Last fall, Stevenson completed the his-n-hers bracelet pair, Inspiration and Inspiration2, to raise money for Parkinson’s disease research. 40% of the purchase price is donated to Parkinson’s Unity Walk in Marlene Kahan’s name, a personal friend of the artist who has early-onset Parkinson’s.

Stevenson’s jewelry makes regular appearances on the VH1 Classic, Fuse and Fine Living television networks, and several designs were purchased by the costume departments for the ABC soaps All My Children and One Life to Live. People, Seventeen, Redbook, Lucky, Harper’s Bazaar and Self magazines have all featured Stevenson‘s unusual collection.

A graduate of The College of William and Mary, Stevenson is represented by the Ivy Brown Gallery in New York, Les Artisans in Saint-Barthelemy, F.W.I., Simple Elegance in Naples, FL and Old Main Gallery in Bozeman, MT. Stevenson currently resides in New York City where he regularly challenges aggressive taxis and buses astride his bicycle.
