Terry Urban

I've carved wood, bone and various stone over the last 30 years,  but now I carve exclusively with New Zealand Pounamu.

I'm a native of Colorado but I left my friends and family to be with Ruth when she returned to New Zealand.  I've now called Aotearoa home for 20 years and my love for both Ruth and New Zealand has grown deeper year by year.

My passion is creating innovative designs that captivate the imagination.  I'm very passionate about pounamu and always treat it with respect. Coming here was a new beginning for me and through my carvings I express myself and my love for New Zealand.
