Rock and stone balancing are not only art forms themselves, but they can also be the subject of art works created in other media. Pieces — such as those above — could include painting, watercolor, ink, and sculpture, although there is no reason why other forms of representation could not also be used. The Sales Galleries on this site offer photographs of balancing which are themselves works of artistic merit., as well as other media.

The artists (see "info" links above) whose work is shown here, such as Peter Mclisky, Alex Cook, Victor Pytko (piece above inspired by balancer Matthew Loflin Davis), Banx, and Stephen Langton Goulet (balancer on this site) are professionals who have artworks available for sale at their websites (see "link" below images). Versatile watercolorist, muralist, and painter John "Scott" Kielar was inspired above by the rock work of the North Carolina Stackers, and images of his art are available from the photo-sharing site Shutterfly.

The background image in the heading of this page is called an "ambigram " (a word or phrase that reads the same when turned upside-down). It was created by Jonathan Gough, and is used with his permission. He writes that although he hasn't yet attempted balancing with "real life" rocks, luckily the ones in his drawing "can be resized and reshaped at will."
