Decoratively Sculpted Wood

George & Roseann Saridakis

George Saridakis, a wood sculptor and Roseann Saridakis, a basket maker work together in their business Decoratively Sculpted Wood which offers fine handcrafted wood art.

George has been working with wood since 1980.  He creates intricately sculpted designs for turned boxes, Ikebana inspired vases, ornaments, and sculpture.  His designs are inspired by art from various cultures and nature.  His work is noted for the smooth lustrous finish people love to touch. 

Roseann has been making baskets since the early 1990’s.  Her Shaker inspired ash baskets reflect the simplicity of Shaker design.  Her Nantucket style baskets use interestingly figured hardwood bases to add a unique look to a traditional classic.  She perpetuates art and history through her baskets. 

Each contributes technical and artistic expertise to aspects of the other’s work.  The results of their collaborations are designs in wood which are sculpted and finished to let the beauty, figure and grain of the wood speak for itself. They are juried members of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, Dunstable (MA) Artisans, and the Hollis (NH) Art Society.
