We are reviving a rare material and seldom used gemstone that conjures up images of King Tut and Renaissance sculpture. Alabaster. For 33 years we have trekked over seven states to unearth a full palate, prospecting rare colored stone to create unique and functional forms.

 

The creations reflect natures simple elegance - its shapes, flowers, rockscapes, colors, faces and figures. The functional forms - containers, bowls, and oil lamps invite personal involvement. The work is a celebration of the materials of the Earth. Alabasters are combined in each piece with other gemstones, rare fossils, mineral specimens, crystals and fine woods. The medium and the functional aspect of the work make this a most singular art form.

 

Transforming raw stone into vessels of beauty is the creative process that engages most of our time. It is a dialogue between the maker and the piece. The stone speaks. When we listen and respond a harmony is created and we sing together. The resulting pieces speak for themselves - they have a life of their own.

 

Selling and promoting the work is the completion of our process. Just as there is a dialogue with the stone, so too do we have one with our patrons. There happens a trinity between the buyer, the maker and the piece. The energy from that exchange is exhilarating and helps initiate new beginnings.
