Since 1987 I’ve lived and worked in Pietrasanta, Italy, widely know as a sculptor’s paradise. Not only is the pure white Carrara marble readily available, but I have access to nearly every marble and granite from anywhere in the world. I use green, blue, red, black, and yellow marble, from China, Brazil, France, Spain and Portugal. Most summers I’ve spent in Sweden, working with granite and the extra hard Black Diabase and Quartzite.
The
various colors, textures, forms of my artworks can be combined and refined
to fit any kind of natural and architectural environment.
