LIBRARY OF WINES

Library of Wines by Craig Gray.

Craig had another sculpture on the Art Walk over 10 years ago and has recently installed Yountville – Library of Wines. This sculpture was created in collaboration with the Arts Commission, which chose to pay homage to our valley and wine-growing region by having varietals as the book titles. 

This carved granite bench is located along Washington Street at the Villagio Vineyard. The original book concept is inspired by the joy of reading. The sculpture is composed of stacked stone books forming a bench. The unique part of this piece was the ability of the community to choose the titles of the “books”. 

Craig has been carving stone for the past 25+ years. His passions include his family, surfing, skiing, hiking, creating works of art out of simple means, and enjoying nature to the fullest. He enjoys his days in Key West, Florida where he lives with his wife & children. You can usually hear him sculpting at 5:00 a.m. each morning before the sun comes up, 12 months of the year.

Granite carved sculpture composed of stacked stone books forming a bench. Size of the work iss 16 x 60 x16.
