Water, sky, earth, human and architectural images are the foundation of Epstein’s creations. His work explores natural and man-made forms through a synthesis of visual languages. Epstein’s latest series of paintings evokes a new consciousness through vibrant expressionistic imagery and abstraction.


Epstein’s paintings and sculpture appear in corporate and private collections in the United States and Europe, and include large-scale public works in California and Florida. Epstein’s formal training includes study at Port Royal Academy, Paris, The Corcoran School, Washington, D.C., Tulane University, New Orleans, LA., and the American Film Institute. He received his degree from The George Washington University and in 2002 moved his studio, HIGHSTONE to St. Petersburg, Florida.

Local Sculptor Leslie Fry Publishes “Wild Life” Documentary Book

May 22, 2008 under local artists

Sculptor Leslie Fry, who summers on her modest estate in Vermont and winters here in St Petersburg, has been getting great reviews on her new book “Wild Life“.

Leslie writes:

Hi Caleb,
Thank you always for your wonderful design of the map/announcement card for my park sculpture project last year. I also thanked you in the Acknowledgments of my recently completed book documenting the project:
Wild Life: A Public Art Project, is a 44 page, full color book available at *Lulu.com*
A six-minute video about the project, Wild Life Sculpture Search, can be seen *here*
The book, Wild Life: A Public Art Project, includes an essay by Dr. Nick Capasso, Curator, DeCordova Museum & Sculpture Park, who wrote:
“Wild Life thus acts as a vehicle for a multi-sensory awareness of place and nature. Through artifice, nature is found. The placement [of the sculptures] also intensifies their liminality. They live at the edge – of the wilderness, and of our perception, as if seen in the corner of the eye. Such slippage in and out of awareness is a profound metaphor for the dream world – the mental land where myths are born.”
