Edit ProfileCareer
He is notable for large public arts projects for public places and creations which mimic sealife. He works in marble, stone, bronze, wood, and sometimes glass. Some of his very large sculptures resemble "giant insects welded together from scrap metal," according to one accountant
He creates sculptures which often resemble creatures from the ocean and nature.
Waterman grew up in New Jersey and Maine and lived for a while in Tahiti. He is the youngest son of oceanographic film maker Stan Waterman and grew up "exploring the ocean depths".
He graduated from Phillips Academy in 1974 and from Dartmouth in 1978. After college, he moved to Pietrasanta, Italy and lived there for seven years to learn sculpting.
