About the Artist

Verdant Sculpts features the work of artist Neal Deschain. He is the creator of The Arbori, plant inspired creatures that originate in nature.  These whimsical creations are brought to life in the form of various figures and garden planters.  You will see dragons of all shapes and sizes as well as animals like foxes, wolves and otters.  There's something for everyone!

Neal has been sculpting since 2001 and is the author of Fantasy Creatures in Clay.  He formerly taught college level art and currently maintains his own online classes on Thinkific.

All of Neal's creations are sculpted from Monster Clay.  He then makes his own silicone molds, pours his own resin casts and hand paints each piece himself in his home studio in Fort Collins, Colorado.
