Hugh Lassen was born in 1976 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He took sculpture classes at the Rhode Island School of Design while studying at Brown University. He learned to carve after seeing a small Native American spear weight carving (also called a “Bird Stone”) in a museum. He continues to be greatly inspired by Ancient and Indigenous Art as well as Modern Art. Often an idea will emerge from a drawing and will provide the beginning for a sculpture. By carving directly in the stone or wood the idea will be refined until, hopefully, it works in the round. He lives with his wife and two children in Cherryfield, Maine.
