Stephen Downes, born in New York City, creates wonderfully luminous sculptural works and lighting in alabaster, stone, metal and wood. His love of art and sculpture started at an early age while attending the Young People’s Art Workshop at the Museum of Modern Art. He later studied under master stone sculptor René Lavaggi at School of Visual Arts, where he received his BFA. Downes has been conceptualizing, designing and sculpting these unusual and esoteric pieces since 1986.
