Elliot Chang - The Spirit of Stone

Elliot has been largely self-taught. Through this process, he has learnt much about his own spirit and carving stone. Elliot Chang has also found his passion to be a never-ending journey. Using the direct carving technique, he allows both the spirit and energy of the stone to emerge and shape the final piece. This creates stylized, abstract pieces that reflect both his inner soul's spirit and his dreams. Born and raised in Hawaii, he resides in Santa Barbara. His studio is located close to the beach and open to a tree lined creek. This setting allows nature and the Aloha sprit to continue permeating his life and work. With his reverence for stone and the natural forms that he finds within the stone, his work has emerged as some of the finest carved stone sculpture on the West Coast.
