FRAMED ART FROM THE STONE CARVER
-specializing in agatized dinosaur bone
Thank
You for your interest in framed art by the StoneCarver.
Having evolved from specimen and jewelry, I am now
pleased to present framed art pieces that exhibit the
beauty of bone and the unique forms they have inspired.
My work involves crafting a piece of agatized bone with flowing curves, ridges, valleys, and saddles to create a pleasing organic form. Combined with an exceptional polish, the result is a remarkably unique presentation. Taking advantage of the amazing color diversity of this material, every creation is distinctively one-of-a-kind! Each of the pieces identified will have several iterations made over time. Each iteration may vary slightly in design and shape but most of them will vary significantly in color. |

Drawing
inspiration from the beautiful archaic Indian pictographs (Barrier
Canyon Style) found along the Colorado River drainage, “Shaman” is
my newest line of creations. The size of the large shaman is 6" x 2-1/4". (The smaller figure is considered to be a “ghost” figure.) The size including the frame is approximately 12" x 16". All final figures are framed, although some of the photographs were taken prior to final framing to exhibit larger versions of the pieces. The photographs not only capture the exquisite polish, but also reveal the flowing detail of the carved surface. |

The "Shaman's" have been taking on a life of their own since I started them. Eventually, I will move into free-standing, three dimensional forms. The "Moab Shaman" is a representation of the shamanistic figures found on a pictograph panel in Courthouse Wash (Moab, Utah). In addition to many other forms, three of these figures were painted on a cliff face high above the Colorado River. They have been identified as Barrier Canyon Style figures, dating them at 1,200 to 4,000 years old. The power and majesty of the painted figures has been captured in this stunning sculpture. The size of the large shaman is 6" x 2-1/4". (The smaller figure is considered to be a “ghost” figure.) The size including the frame is approximately 13" x 17". |

"EVOLVED PLANT SERIES"
The "Evolved
Plant Series" are whimsical creations that were originally supposed to be
life as we may find it in the future. However, after living with these
creations, I now think they are more representative of life under the
sea or even, perhaps, alien life.
