I was a wood carver for 25 years, showing and selling work across the United States and Canada. In 1988 I met a stone sculptor on Saltspring Is., British Columbia. He gave me my first piece of stone and I haven't carved wood since.
In the spring of 1990, I was introduced to the Northwest Stone Sculptors Association. An international group of sculptors, the NWSAA is a 20 year old non-profit educational organization that promotes works of art in stone. Each July a 10 day symposium is held in Western Washington State. I have been lucky enough to work helping to make the symposium a success as a member of NWSSAs Board of Directors.
I have also been a member for the last 10 years of the Port Townsend Art Gallery.
I have been fortunate over the years to study with several very talented teachers.
