Guy Pederson

Based in Calistoga, Guy Pederson is a sculptor known for his intricately assembled figurative works and mineral-encrusted sculptures. Drawing on decades of experience as a draftsman, Pederson transforms scrap metal, found objects, and geological materials into surreal forms that balance structure and chaos. His work reflects the natural forces of his Napa Valley surroundings—geysers, mineral springs, and fault lines—while exploring deeply personal and philosophical themes.

From crystalline typewriters to quantum-inspired figures, his sculptures evoke a dreamlike intensity rooted in material experimentation.

In addition to his studio practice, Pederson mentors young artists and supports creative outreach programs in Zambia, embodying his belief that all people are inherently creative.
