I have followed Derek's work since first seeing Stone Flowers back in the early 80's. Always amazing!

Derek's work is beautiful, powerful, graceful and thought provoking. His sculpture conveys both an infinite sense of and powerful gravitas. Derek maintains a keen ear toward his client's voice, but never loses sight of his own compass.

-Gary Wengrofsky

Derek is an extremely talented artist. His artwork is beautiful and unique. Not only is he a very creative individual, but he is also very personable. He's funny, easy to talk to, and great to be around. I definitely recommend hiring Derek for a future project.

Derek Uhlman’s sculptures possess a strength and structure having little to do with the materials he chooses; there is some intrinsic element that not only makes each work blend with its surroundings, but also allows them to jolt and intrigue you with their individuality. My personal favorites are the disks and duoliths―the disks elicit the feeling that they are larger representations of nature’s myriad shapes: organic and structured for a purpose far beyond our imaginations, while the duoliths evoke an old world mysticism that is strongly compelling and mesmerizing. Derek’s monoliths are like runic stones carrying long-buried messages. Derek’s new works seem so otherworldly and alive that I keep expecting them to suddenly spring and run. Their vibrant color combinations complete the illusion.

-Kit Howe Peres

I have known Derek for many years, and I have always admired his talent and the quality of his work. His creativity is truly unique. I truly recommend him to anyone who is interested in commissioning him or acquiring one of his art pieces.

-Christian Morsanutto

I am always impressed by the quality and variety of Derek's work.

-William Fishman

There is art, and there is Art. Derek is of the latter camp. His artwork defies categorization as decorative or "pretty", rather, powerful, deeply personal, and utterly unique are words that readily come to mind. I just wish I could afford to commission some of his large stone works, as they are his opus magnum.

-Karl Maruyama

I have seen Derek’s work, it is superior and artful. I would highly recommend him.

-Karen Fishman

Derek is a passionate artist who lives for what he does, and it shows in his work. He values his business relationships and is a pleasure to have as a colleague and friend.
