About the Artist — Leo Jones

Leo Jones is an American woodcarving artist and sculptor currently based in China. He has been creating sculptures since 2015, with a particular passion for capturing the beauty and movement of the ocean through wood.

Leo believes that every piece of wood has its own character and story, waiting to be discovered. Rather than hiding the natural grain and texture of the wood, he embraces them, allowing each piece to become a unique work of art.

Inspired by the ever-changing ocean, Leo pays close attention to the way waves move and how light transforms the sea. Through careful hand carving and an eye for detail, he brings waves, sea foam, and flowing water to life in wood. No two pieces are exactly alike, each reflecting a unique balance between the beauty of nature and the artist's own vision.

For Leo, woodcarving is more than a craft. It's a way to connect with nature and share the feeling of being by the sea. Through his work, he hopes to bring a little of the ocean's beauty, energy, and tranquility into people's lives.

Looking ahead, Leo will continue to explore new ideas and techniques, creating original works that celebrate the natural beauty of wood and the timeless allure of the ocean.
