Portfolio
“Our profession requires mastery of the tools and materials which enable us to reliably impose, within stone, whatever shape meets the demands of the client. This includes the ability and willingness to work with architects, sculptors, contractors, and others toward the successful use of carved stone within the client’s setting.”
