Carl Vanderheyden — Artist Bio & Résumé

Below you’ll find downloadable PDFs of my official artist biography and full résumé/CV, documenting over two decades of professional work as a sculptor, artist, and storyteller.

After decades of creating independent sculptural work, Carl’s personal faith journey gave rise to the Jesus Has a Horse mission.

These materials are provided for galleries, educators, churches, event organizers, and collaborators who would like a deeper understanding of my background, experience, and body of work.

My career spans more than 20 years of large-scale steel sculpture, public art, and creative projects — work rooted in craftsmanship, perseverance, and a lifelong pursuit of meaning through art.

A lifetime of sculpture, creativity, storytelling — and the journey that led to Jesus Has a Horse.
