Stone work as art is a combination of an ancient practice of humans, and the amazing formation of beautiful rocks and minerals created by nature on this planet and beyond. The challenge for me as an artist is to see the potential beauty in a rough rock and to bring it out for people to live with and enjoy. Hopefully, they will have a heightened appreciation of our natural world and the wonder it can produce.
The material I use comes to me in the form of rough rock either, purchased, received as a gift or found during my prospecting travels. There are many stones available that are amazingly beautiful, yet are rarely used in stone art. Part of my quest is to learn the mineralogy, metaphysics and the techniques required to clearly present the benefits, wonder and beauty to others.
