Unique, one-of-a-kind designs with a vintage feel
About
A Connecticut stone carver who uses traditional methods, I create memorials, headstones and landscape pieces with a classic, vintage feel. With over 30 years as a mason in CT, I began to transition over to stone carving after developing a love for old churches, headstones, architectural details, etc., and after realizing that the pieces I loved most were 100 years old or more. Where could people find new hand-crafted pieces today?
Whether I’m hand-shaping a newly cut piece of granite, or carving into a stone that I’ve quarried myself, I’ll use a variety of methods, hand-tools and styles to make each piece unique with what I like to call an “old-school” feel. While I will occasionally work with brownstone, marble, or limestone, it is granite that I most enjoy carving, both for its everlasting durability and for the challenge of it.
Memorials & Headstones
I've always believed each headstone should be as unique as the individual it represents. I carve one-of-a-kind new memorials, headstones and ground markers, as well as historically-accurate replacement stones.
Gallery
With my wife as my sometimes designer, I’ve explored and created pieces in many styles- including Old New England, Art Deco, Celtic, Art Nouveau, and Religious Sculpture, to name a few. Crafting stone continues to be a fulfilling calling for me, with new possibilities presenting themselves ev,ery day. There is endless history to explore, from the masters of the past to the ancient structures still standing; new tools, techniques & materials for sculpting and carving; and new inspiration to be had.
