About Me

For over 34 years, I've made a wonderful living for myself and family of four creating world-class water features using real and faux rock in sunny San Diego as well as professional sand sculptures all around the world. In 1995 I founded Henderson Sculptural Arts, Inc. with a dream: combine my love for sculpture with business. At Henderson Sculptural Arts, we design, create, build and repair artificial and real rock waterfalls, grottos, ponds, and pools using state-of-the-art techniques and materials. We can also create something in sand for your special event as well!

In short, we make dreams a reality.

And now I'm taking what I've learned about starting successful businesses, contracting, sculpture, water feature construction, and more, and sharing it with the world. It's my mission to help people like you enjoy more success both in your business and in your personal life.

“To make a long story shorter, our initial call was returned promptly by Dave and he was very knowledgeable of our issues and what was need to restore our pool to it's original form. Dave's work was very professional and I was amazed at how quickly the job was completed. In the end we were very pleased with the outcome and the the best part was that the cost of the project was reasonable. Lastly, Dave is a very nice person, we enjoyed working with him, and would highly refer his services to anyone in need.“
