Art City Studios

Monumental Artistry, Stone Sculptures & Monoliths, Stone Yard Paul Lindhard had a vision of a place where sculptors could work together and sell their art.

Thirty years in the making, Art City has evolved into a dynamic environment that allows artists to create in an artistically supportive atmosphere. Art City Studios is the culmination of that vision. Our resident sculptors combine with the finest selection of raw materials on the West Coast to provide a one-stop source for both carving stones and finished sculptures. Art City is the place where pr

ofessionals and students alike get the supplies and assistance they need. For raw materials, services or to commission a sculpture for your home or corporate setting, explore Art City first. Come see our selection of stone, as well as the completed works in our Micro Gallery Showroom. Meet directly with artists to discuss sculptures in stone, wood, or bronze.

Monumental Sculptural Seating

Art City’s shop cat 'Mau Mau' has officially approved SERPENT BENCH (which, in our opinion, is the highest standard of review).

SERPENT BENCH, carved from monumental chocolate flagstone and grounded in imperial blue granite, spans a length of 11 feet and weighs approximately 5,500 lbs.

Designed by Paul Lindhard, it merges functional seating with collectible art for spaces that treat landscape as architecture, branding, or art.

List price: $9,500

Art City’s latest creation is taking shape!

This 8-foot basalt shower, sculpted by Kevin Carman under the guidance of Paul Lindhard, is coming to life.

Basalt stone's formation begins in fire. Molten lava rises, cools slowly, and settles into dense, dark stone, formed by pressure and time, carrying the memory of volcanoes.

Art City takes this ancient material and gives it a new purpose. The same stone that once flowed like liquid fire is shaped into an 8' outdoor shower, where water now moves.

A meeting of elements: earth, fire, and water, reimagined for everyday life.

Nature decided to collaborate with a rogue sunflower that popped up beside the shower🌻😀

Art City’s Split Rock Project begins with an 8-foot imperial blue granite boulder; bottom cut, then carefully split in half under the guidance of Paul Lindhard .studios

This piece is destined for a monumental commission led by Paul Lindhard, with master stone sculptor Kevin Carman shaping its next chapter.

What was once whole is now transformed. Stay tuned as the journey unfolds.

SOLD! 6-foot limestone fence post monolith.

This sculptural stones carries a unique piece of American history. Originally quarried in Kansas in the late 1800s, limestone was used by settlers as fence posts when timber was scarce on the plains. The piece tells a story shaped by time, land and necessity.

Durable, weathered, and naturally expressive, Limestone Fence Posts are often highly sought after as vertical elements in landscaping to add height, texture, and a grounded, natural presence to outdoor spaces.

Art City still has 3 incredible limestone monoliths available, ranging from 7' to 10' tall - currently on display & for sale at the Car Collector Vault in Santa Paula.

DM for details!

Meet 'Duke' 🐢

600 pounds of quiet strength, carved by Kevin Carman from Mojave tricolor marble- a stone that carries desert sunsets and ancient tides within its veins.

'Duke' emerges from his base as if drawn upward from the earth. His form rises from raw stone into a smooth, living presence, grounded in place and shaped with purpose.

Sculpted with patience, intention, and deep respect for the material, this piece captures the spirit of the Mojave- earthy, resilient, and undeniably alive.

The contrast between refined surface and raw foundation gives Duke a presence that is impossible to ignore.

A true statement piece. The kind that defines a space.

$12,000 + tax (Base additional)
Inquiries welcome
