Classical Contemporary Marble Sculpture:

My work begins directly in a dimensional block of marble or a random chunk of stone.  I calm my mind and limit the surrounding distractions and begin to carve the block all around just trying to get acquainted with its hardness and graining--its nature.  Then as I begin to take away the flat edges and expose contours and masses some things occur to me and I begin to chase after these initial images--sometimes hurriedly.  I have gone from start to finish like this in a 3 day period but often I have to abandon these initial impressions as I begin to see a much better figurative shape that wasn't there in the beginning, this then is what I work to refine.  It is a deeply fulfilling experience for me making it very difficult to stop sculpting some days!  Because I don't use a clay model to copy in the stone my work is more abstract than just purely figurative.  There isn't a way to put the pieces back together and start over.

Commission Clay Sculptures and Stone Carvings:

I use clay to study anatomy and make portrait busts when I am not involved with stone sculpture projects or art restorations.  When clay is fired it is known as terra cotta and is very durable and amazing--taking a wide spectrum of colorful, extraordinary glazes.  Terra Cotta sculptures are an affordable way to own really ambitious works of contemporary sculpture at a fraction of the cost of natural stone.  I look forward to working on something for you.  You can contact me through the (Contact The Artist) link above or simply call from the number at the top of this page.  My stone carvings run the gamut from architectural elements to figurative classical sculpture and portraits.  Marble is my preferred stone but there are many places where granite is the right answer.
