During the building boom of the mid-1980's I was approached,
in my sculpture studio, by a local tile
contractor. He needed someone to make marble and
granite trim for his custom installations. As a working stone carver I found it to be an easy
enough task, and a very lucrative sideline. My involvement in
the business grew until eventually I was designing, cutting, and
installing. This involvement has continued to the present.
My earliest adult involvement in the plastic arts was in crafting
and repairing jewelry. The minute scale of jewelry work
requires great attention to detail and very precise fitting of the
various pieces in a composition. Lapidary skills,
cutting, carving, and polishing gemstones, translated neatly to a very high
quality of stone and tile installation.
Except for the mosaic, all designs, trim, and edging were produced
in my studio.
