About Lyman Whitaker

Lyman has been a practicing sculptor for over 40 years, with a unique knowledge of materials and their application. The past 19 years have primarily been focused on creating Wind Sculptures™, which are all produced by hand. The Wind Sculptures™ are innovative and artistic with a high degree of mechanical integrity; they are well respected for their quality craftsmanship.

Lyman's sculptures have an organic and mystical theme in keeping with his life philosophy. As an artist, he can express his concern for the survival of the planet through a creative medium. Disquieted about the durability of our culture's present systems, in relation to climate changes, Lyman's strongest wish is to have his artwork symbolize a move toward better solutions in relationship to the earth.

By placing the sculptures in settings dependent on natural elements for movement, opportunities are provided for participants to think about their surroundings. Lyman's sculptures are organic and natural like vegetation and are enjoyed best in interactive settings where they are viewed over time.

The receptivity to his work has allowed Lyman to create an inspiring modern studio in Southern Utah with representation at fine art galleries around the country. In addition, public and private installations exist throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.

Lyman's early work was significantly more representational, with a wonderful mix from traditional bronzes to small mobiles, and also included several public fountains. Believing that there are a variety of ways to accomplish anything, his process has continued to evolve and maintain originality. Currently, Lyman is going back to what he loves best: combining a broad range of materials and techniques to freely create movement and form.

FAQs

How long will it take to get my Lyman Whitaker wind sculpture?

It will take eight to twelve weeks from the date you order to receive a small, medium or large wind sculpture, and twelve to twenty weeks to receive extra-large and larger. The wind sculptures are hand made and shipped to you directly from the artist. When you purchase a wind sculpture an art consultant will reach out to you and share your target ship date.

Will the Whitaker wind sculpture be able to handle snow, rain or saltwater?

Lyman Whitaker's copper wind sculptures can handle snow, rain and saltwater with no issues at all! Whitaker's stainless steel wind sculptures are more sensitive to saltwater, but are perfectly happy in rain or snow.

Can I install it a Whitaker myself?

Yes! The Lyman Whitaker wind sculptures will come ready to install! Our instructions include diagrams to keep things simple. All you need is a philips-head screwdriver, level, crescent wrench and cement if you would like to anchor the ground mounting pin in concrete. We recommend doing so if you plan to keep your kinetic sculpture in the same spot for years. We also have deck mounts! Just ask an art consultant for more details.

Do you recommend more than one wind sculpture?

Whitaker wind sculptures are stunning on their own, but designed to be in a garden of their own with other sculptures. Need help pairing your sculptures? Our art consultants are available seven days a week to help you decide!

Can Whitaker wind sculpture handle high winds?

Yes! All wind sculptures are speed tested up to 90 miles per hour.
