Most of Dusenbery’s artistic career was dedicated in the realization of stone sculptures: marble, travertine, limestone, granite, precisely mounted in consistent sculptural forms.
In Italy, he met Henry Moore and Marino Marini; in 1988, after having split between Pietrasanta and New York, he decided to stop in the U.S.A. to build his house and his study.
In 2011, Dusenbery realized the entrance of the Presidential Trauma Center of Harbor view Hospital in Seattle, Washington entitled “In the garden”: a metaphor for the work of man with nature.
