About Stone Sculpture by Steven Snyder
Artist Statement
“My life is an association with rocks. I feel drawn to pick up every one of them.” Issues of love, commitment, family and spirit figure heavily in Steven's work. Simple form, and the humor with which they are often presented, makes his pieces easily accessible, and quietly compelling.
History
Self-taught, Steven has been sculpting stone since 1981.
In 1986, he built Cedar Maze, his home and studio in Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania. He created a sculpture garden, and from 1997 through 2017 he featured his work there along with that of other artists at yearly Cedar Maze Art Shows.
He then moved his studio and sculpture to a Frenchtown location and exhibited there from 2018 through 2023 at HoBART Art Show.
A diagnosis of Parkinson's forced Steven to retire, but there are over 60 pieces of sculpture available! His son, Justin Anchinsko, continues the family tradition by creating polished stone benches and sculpture in his own unique style. View his available work below!
Steven and his wife, Pinky, currently reside in Ottsville, PA.
