Brad Sells

Tennessee

Some artists become masters of their craft, very few can be considered avant-garde and have the vision to carry their work to a new dimension. Brad Sells has taken a risk, cast tradition into the wind and reached that level in his wooden vessels. In 2004, PBS filmed their first documentary on Sells entitled “Wood Safari” in South Africa. A second documentary on his unique work will be filmed in the near future.

Sells’ sculptures are exhibited in dozens of personal and corporate collections worldwide as well as many museums including the Smithsonian.
