Paintings on Marble

This series of work is a tribute to my dad. He was a collector of rocks and minerals since he was a child, and over time a passion for stone sculpting also took hold. He created many beautiful pieces over the years, some of which are my most prized possessions.

Not long before he passed we collaborated on a piece, a column with carved patterns on three sides and a painting of a favorite pine tree on the face. I loved painting on the marble surface and the translucent effects I could achieve.

And now, a few years after his passing, I’m inspired to continue. It’s one way I stay connected to him.
