“I want my carvings to feel as though they’ve always existed—only now revealed.”

Sculptor Thomas McPhee

Thomas McPhee is a Canadian sculptor renowned for his masterful gemstone carvings and kiln-cast glass sculptures. Largely self-taught, he refined his skills by studying European museum collections and developing his own techniques in the early 1980s. Working in precious and semi-precious gems, McPhee combines classical realism with mythic and archetypal themes, creating small-scale works collected worldwide.

Artist Statement

“The source of my inspiration in using gemstones as a primary vehicle for expression lies in their intrinsic qualities—permanence, beauty, purity, and inner light. These materials allow me to pursue a highly refined perfection of form, creating objects that feel timeless rather than transient. Whether working in precious stones or cast glass, I aim to carve sculptures that transcend the here and now and suggest a hopeful sense of the eternal.”
