Inspiration for Eagle's Perch Chair The inspiration for “Eagle’s Perch” comes from the many eagles that perch in the trees above and at eye level outside my studio waiting patiently to see something that catches their interest out on the water. Then with a mighty swoosh they are off. Just as with this hall chair we sit, maybe put on our shoes, tie our laces and off we go into the world. Little do the eagles know they are my inspirational catch and the music of their calls create perfect muses. The entire chair is made from Vancouver Island woods which no doubt would have had an eagle or two land on their mighty limbs. The three different woods are Douglas fir, Maple and Red cedar.

Maarten Schaddelee, Sculptor Maarnada Studios Gallery & Sculpture Garden Internationally acclaimed sculptor Maarten Schaddelee has focused on the beauty of the natural world as a theme for a variety of sculptures. This has led to glorious expressions of whales, birds, dolphins, as well as complex relationships and metaphors pertinent to humanity's links with nature. Peace and harmony are strong recurring themes in Schaddelee's expression. His work has been chosen to recognize people and places in Canada and abroad. From tiny hand held touchstones to large public and private installations, Maarten's sculptures engage the viewer's senses.
