Sebastian Martorana ‘03 | School of Art Visiting Artist Lecture Series

Sebastian Martorana ‘03 is a sculptor and illustrator living and working in Baltimore, Maryland. For over 20 years he has focused on the art of carving. Much of the material used for his sculptures was salvaged from Baltimore’s historic, though often discarded, architecture.

Martorana works on private commissions and commercial projects from his Baltimore studio, which is housed within the historic Hilgartner Natural Stone Company shop. His sculptures have been shown in numerous galleries and museums and can be found in prominent collections. He is a faculty member at the Maryland Institute of Art and has been a repeat presenter for the American Craft Council. His work was featured in the Renwick Gallery’s 40 Under 40 show and is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
