About US...

We love creating various forms of land art, both as individuals and together. We look forward to what’s next.

Douglas

Having a background in Fine Art painting and carpentry helped prepared Douglas as a stone balance artist. After an injury that kept him from continuing with his carpentry he searched for a new passion for over five years. He was frustrated. Having seen Michael Grab balancing in Boulder Creek he decided to give it a try. There was an immediate connection with stone balancing. Douglas’s work is as much sculptural art as it is about balancing stones, and balance creations are varied in terms of materials balanced, setting, and emotional appeal. That people often see animals or images with human feelings speaks to the sculptural significance. When going into nature to balance, he let’s the balances flow, believing any stone can be balanced beautifully. Balancing rocks or other materials requires one to be in the present moment, and to practice patience and perseverance. Besides that, the moment when a balance is created has a magical quality. Perhaps that speaks to the widespread appeal as people seem to love what appears to defy reason. Stone balancing can bring joy and a sense of wonder into people's lives. It does to ours.

Working with stones can often have a grounding and calming effect. Balances are fleeting installations. Rarely do they last longer than a few minutes, depending the wind and other factors. They are almost always taken down anyway since falling stones can injure children and animals.

Images of balance remind us of the importance of balance in every aspect of our lives. Stone balancing helps us to see that what we perceive as impossible can be accomplished.

Zinta

Zinta has had a longtime love for everything that nature has to offer. It has always given her peace, mindfulness, and inspiration. She especially loves being in forests and at the beach. She fell in love with beachcombing…collecting sea glass, sea shells, pottery, stones, and driftwood. She uses beach finds for her art and loves to create land art together with her husband.

Douglas and Zinta met due to their mutual love for rocks. They connected on Instagram, through the rock balancing community. Douglas had already been a rock balancer for many years and Zinta had recently found out about the art of balancing rocks.

Together they are people who feel as if time stops as soon as they are surrounded by forests full of greenery and life, and on beaches with all the treasures washed ashore.

Please look through our Galleries and Shop. We will be adding more images.  We have intentionally kept the Shop inventory small, but can print any landart image that you desire.  Thanks for visiting.

If the wind doesn’t blow balances over, we take them down to leave the area as we found it, and to protect children and animals from being hurt when they fall. If you decide to stack or balance, please leave no trace.
