ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I love the enduring quality of stone. I use mostly metamorphic rock for sculpting because of it’s vast characteristics and variety. I like sculpting North Carolina stone because it has been over-looked as a sculpting material. It forms in small veins and was quarried very little. Each stone has it’s unique characteristics that appear only during the polishing process. No two are the same! I hope to continue to follow the muse and co-create with a Power greater than myself.
