Stone as a medium for art goes back centuries and is essentially world wide in its use. We find cave drawings in Southern France dating back 35000 years and petroglyphs in ancient America. Also, ancient Greeks and Romans used stone inlays to construct magnificent mosaic murals.

Stone when used as an art medium can have unique properties such as being translucent, brilliant in color, and color selective in its reflection. By selecting patterns in the rock that resemble a part of the picture, we are able to enhance the entire piece. We use thin slices of semiprecious stones to create our art; the details of our process are contained within this site along with several of our art works.

The picture above is an example of our mosaic rock art. The sky is composed of quarts, which has a translucent quality along with crystalline structure creating the effect of sparkling clouds. The streaks of blue in dumortierite rock create the essence of shimmering water. For the dark black objects, we chose black Indian agate. Other rocks along with their unique colors and markings add their beauty to this synergism creating a work of art in stone. This particular piece of art illuminates like a stained glass window, when it is lit from the back side. Some of our other art pieces also have this property as you will discover within this site.

Most of our work is done under commission. If you see something you like or have a picture with deep meaning behind it and would like to see it stone, please contact us. We can come to an arrangement. Our cost for the materials alone requires that we charge at least one dollar per square inch. If you would like to try the craft of stone art on your own, we encourage it. If you enjoy seeing the beauty of color, streaks of pattern in semi precious stones, and the challenge of a good jigsaw puzzle, most likely you will enjoy stone art. Contact us and we will give you tips on getting started. Most of what we learned has come from experience. We could save you the cost of learning from mistakes that we have already made. My daughter and I enjoy the feeling of creating something of beauty and synergism from stone and having it endure through out time.
