As an artist, Joseph McGowan draws his inspiration from the force and physics of nature. His water sculpture pieces seek to capture the mystery of these forces by creating an illusion in the viewer’s mind that they are defying natural laws. The titles of McGowan’s pieces are suggestive of this focus: Aurora Borealis, Evolution, Orion or Tides of Eternity, among others.

McGowan works with acrylic, natural stone, and metal mediums in conjunction with fiber optics and special effects lighting. This combination of old world craftsmanship and modern technology is what gives McGowan’s sculptures their unique appeal. He takes raw materials and hand fabricates every piece of the sculpture, meticulously sanding and shaping it to form its seamless lines. Joseph then takes the sculpture, a raw canvas to him, and begins to work his magic by hand painting each sculpture. Today few craft raw materials with the passion he possesses, a passion that drives Joseph to create works of art that are flawless.
