“"The form of sculpture that I practice involves the aesthetic of the human vestige emerging from within a block of raw stone. The emphasis is upon creating a portrait or an intuitive work that projects emotional intelligence and upon first glance, speaks directly to the heart."- DJ Garrity”

““My emphasis is upon creating portraits and intuitive works that project emotional intelligence and upon first glance, speak directly to the heart."”
“Direct sculpture evolves from the dignity of a silent dialect between stone carver and a denizen from the first breath of creation. It's free verse, spiritually eloquent, a language of chance and when the moment is right; poetry.”
“Human faces are carved in surprising ways into Garrity's work, suggesting the threads that connect myth, past and present, and even forces of nature”
Ian cannon
“"Within every creative idiom one finds a range of endeavors that inform, encompass and at times define a genre.””
“Artistic ability is a blunt force emotion.”
“"Inspired by natural forces, feminine mystique and the spontaneity of form within the essence of beauty, Garrity creates work that traverses between stark realism and the colorful void of abstraction." 2006 Irish America Magazine”
