Chuck Iffland

Chuck Iffland is a sculptor who has exhibited in the Northwest and nationally for the past 30 years. Iffland does biomorphic figurative sculpture out of stone, wood, steel, and concrete.

Influenced by 3 generations of sheet metal craftsmen on one side of the family and painters, writers, and musicians on the other, sculpture became a natural path for Chuck to take. The contrast between the beautiful countryside of Pennsylvania and its’ decaying urban industrial cores have been lifelong influences. Major sources of inspiration have been global travel, the natural world, history, and archeology. He believes that everything an artist experiences informs his work.

Iffland’s work can be seen in the Northwest at the Wescott Bay Sculpture Park on San Juan Island, Monarch Sculpture Park in Olympia, Webster Woods at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, and at Mad Monkey Studios in Chimacum.

The sculpture park on the studio grounds is open to the public by appointment. It is a menagerie of sculpture and installations set in the natural environment. Iffland is available to explain the process, materials, and the sculptural language of his work.
