Not all of Dougherty's works reside on the ground. This one, called Cell Division, proves that his art is just as effective on the side of a building.

Mr. Dougherty, who is now in his 60s, has a portfolio of over 200 amazing pieces from houses that look like a grove of trees to large pavilions that seem to have been built by a beaver. We call it art, but he calls it “stickwork.” That’s also what he named his book of thirty-eight of his most eye-catching these works which was published last year. Check it out here.

Hello Patrick,

As a second generation arborist of over thirty years experience I stand in humble awe of your truely living sculptures. I actually train the arborists in our company in what I have dubbed Living Sculpture method of pruning. I now see what the terminology really means.

With your permission, I would like to try and link this to our company Facebook page. You can visit our website at http://www.SuperiorNW.com or contact me anytime at the email listed below.

Thank you for creating these wonderful works,

Anthony Moran
