I've been working in stone for about 18 years. My current figurative work involves two tall figure series called “Silent Watchers” and “Silent Words”. Both draw inspiration from a 3rd century B.C. Etruscan bronze figurine called “Ombra della Sera” or Shadow of the Evening. These tall, thin figure series are an expression of the feelings of serenity and peacefulness. They reflect an inner silence while maintaining a presence of outward awareness. There have been a number of stone only sculptures in the “Silent Watcher” series as well as a recent approach of using a combination of unique, one of a kind stone bodies with limited edition bronze heads. This combination of stone and bronze also continues in the “Silent Words” series. Each piece lays the groundwork for the next variation of the series. I am also exploring a smaller version of these tall thin figures, with stone and wood bodies and cast glass heads.

As well as my sculptural work, I also bring an artistic expression to the functional stone work that I do. My custom stone fabrication facility does kitchen countertops, vanities, sinks, shower surrounds, fireplace hearths and surrounds, as well as custom memorials.
