Breathing Life Into Cold Hard Stone

“He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist” St. Francis of Assisi

  • I've worked as a tile and stone specialty contractor for almost 30 years in Bend Oregon.

    Tile setting is itself an artistic trade, but creatively, I desired to go deeper.

  • While tiling a beautiful home on the big island of Hawaii,

    I was given an opportunity to cut in artistic design skills to an otherwise dull and
    uninviting tile entry.

  • Using available materials

    such as granite,sandstone, coral beach pebbles, glass gems, mixed marvelously
    together to create a fluid sea turtle floor medallion.

    The finished product was like breathing life into cold hard stone...
