Adriance Furnituremakers

Adriance Furnituremakers is delighted to showcase an exceptional selection of thoughtfully curated artworks by talented local artisans. Each piece in our Showroom Gallery reflects the creativity and skill of its maker, bringing warmth and character to our space. We invite you to explore this vibrant collection, where artistry meets craftsmanship, and discover the unique stories behind each work.

John Magnan is one of our region’s most compelling artistic voices, celebrated for his striking sculptures, immersive installations, and acclaimed traveling exhibitions. After an accomplished career in technical program management, John redirected his talents toward the arts, completing advanced studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and earning his MFA in Sculpture from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

We are thrilled to showcase John’s extraordinary work in our Showroom Gallery.

John is creating a series of wildlife sculptures available only through our gallery. In an exclusive collaboration with Gary Adriance, a portion of all proceeds will support The Buzzards Bay Coalition—making each purchase both a meaningful contribution and a rare acquisition.

The first piece in the series, “Heron in Flight,” is a dramatic wall sculpture with a 40‑inch wingspan that sold immediately.

His second work, “Blue Heron Searching,” is a beautifully crafted 24‑inch‑high mahogany tabletop sculpture.

“American Oystercatcher,” another distinctive tabletop piece carved in cherry, measures 23” wide and comes complete with a hand-carved oyster, finished to highlight the wood’s natural grain.

Recently completed is an abstract pair titled “Birds in Space,” executed in mahogany with a refined, modern presence.

“Heron Departure” is a 1/3‑scale maquette in white oak, conceived as a study for a full‑scale sculpture planned for completion in late spring; the prototype is currently offered for sale.
