Tree Under The Sea

A coral reef; as you travel up the tree fanlike vegetation teams with life, dripping in tangles of green, glass fish and sea life circle and swirl with the poetry of the sea.

The massive mixed media sculptures created by James Stone capture a myriad of scenes from our oceans. They represent the pristine beauty of the marine environment as well as the seas' tragic potential.

Stone would like viewers to see both worlds and realize that they too have the power to create what comes next by simple lifestyle choices. Will the oceans of the future be sullied by ghost nets and pollution as seen in 'Not Seen, Not Heard, But Felt', or will our children's children swim among 'Trees Frozen in Time' and 'Noah's Arc'?

A purchase of James Stone's artwork ensures that a portion of the proceeds goes to conservation organizations such as The Sea Turtle Restoration Project.

Zimmer Museum
Los Angeles, California

I think this is one of my favorite designs. – James Stone

Constructed primarily of steel and sculpted and cast glass, the "Earth Echo" sculpture is a tribute to the work of explorers and ocean conservationists, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, his son Philippe Cousteau, and grandchildren, Philippe Pierre and Alexandra who founded EarthEcho International (www.earthecho.org) in the spirit and legacy of their father's important work.

Noah's Arc Bench

Parks and Recreation Department
City of Beverly Hills, California

MAYORS PURCHASE AWARD ANNOUNCED! In 2006, Beverly Hills Mayor Stephen P. Webb presented the City of Beverly Hills “Mayor’s Purchase Awards” to participating San Diego Master Glass Artist, James Stone, at the Annual Beverly Hills Affaire in the Gardens Art Show, held at the Beverly Gardens Park. The piece chosen by the Mayor is a mixed media bench made of metal and glass named Noah’s Arc Bench, a tribute piece to the oldest found reference to glass, when referring to an Arc window.

Stone hopes his art will inspire onlookers to ideally think more responsibly about what we do and how we impact the ocean and its inhabitants.
