George Carruth is the quiet force behind Carruth Studio. Since 1983 he has been creating wonderful cast images from completely original designs carved from limestone and clay.

Initially, George's work was 2 dimensional, in the form of illustrations for advertising. This was not the career of choice as his dream was always to sculpt as a living. With encouragement from his wife, who's philosophy was "Do what makes you happy," a stone carver emerged. For more than 2 years, selling hand carved originals at juried shows and to fine galleries supported them. When demand for his whimsical works continued to increase, the first cast piece was born and Carruth Studio made its debut. George functioned as the production department while his wife handled the packing, shipping, marketing, and billing department...all from their garage and basement.

With over 40 employees at Carruth Studio, George now serves as both a sculptor and art director for the additional sculptors added to the team. By casting his work, George’s original sculptures are now available to everyone.

The cornerstone of Carruth Studio’s collection is that they make people smile. Each sculpture spreads a small part of the joy that he feels when creating it. Statue.com is proud to help spread this joy.

Most of the Carruth Studio collection is cast in stone and intended for use as garden décor. Given this, you will find a large selection of animal sculptures and other garden favorites like fairies and angels. We also carry an extensive selection of sculptural thermometers and garden plaques from Carruth.
