Dale Schierholt’s intimate portrait of Cabot Lyford offers the reflections of a master sculptor. Filmed primarily at his studio in New Harbor, Maine, Lyford is shown sculpting in wood, using mallet and chisel, chainsaw and sander. The boldness of his direct carving technique is matched by his sensitivity to the materials. He focuses on subjects he loves, whether wildlife or women.  Revered by his patrons, Lyford’s sculpture is found in private and public collections, including the Portland Museum of Art, Ogunquit Museum of American Art, Colby College Museum of Art, and the Portland Public Arts Collection.  Cabot Lyford is the recipient of the prestigious National Academy of Design Sculpture Prize.
