"Within every creative idiom one finds a range of endeavors that inform, 
                   encompass and at times define a genre. Literature
is a prism into this 
                   train of thought, as it sorts out the human
experience with hard hitting 
                   journalism, prose, playwriting and poetry. The form of sculpture that 
                   I practice involves the aesthetic of the human vestige emerging
from 
                   within a block of raw stone. The emphasis is upon creating a portrait 
                   or an intuitive work that projects emotional intelligence and upon first 
                   glance, speaks directly to the heart."- DJ Garrity 
           
          
         DJ Garrity creates portraits and site specific public sculpture within the 
                   mediums of marble, granite and basalt. Images on this page are courtesy
