Artist Statement

I have been sculpting stone for over twenty years. It is a full time process in refining and achieving a clean, precise work of art. I am self taught, working with only hand tools at first. I believe this leads me to understand the stone and all of its qualities. Having been raised on a ranch, I learned at a very young age to appreciate the natural beauty that nature offers. Stone is nature's hidden jewel and my goal is to bring out its beauty. My work can be both quite simple as well as very intricate depending on the stone itself.
