He works in marble, stone, bronze, wood, and sometimes glass.[9] Some of his very large sculptures resemble "giant insects welded together from scrap metal," according to one account.[10] His sculptures often resemble creatures from the ocean and nature.

He married his agent and arts organizer Thea Buxbaum in 1997.[11][12][13] Waterman grew up in New Jersey and Maine and lived for a while in Tahiti. He is the youngest son of oceanographic filmmaker Stan Waterman and grew up "exploring the ocean depths".[14] He graduated from Phillips Academy in 1974 and from Dartmouth in 1978.[9] After college, he moved to Pietrasanta, Italy and lived there for seven years to learn sculpting.
