Classically Trained in Italy. Custom hand-carved stone sculpture. Made in the USA and Italy.
"I specialize in creating custom, hand-carved marble and stone sculpture."
From fireplaces to life-size full figures, large fountains, architectural reliefs, memorials or small garden pieces. my extended training allows me to carve virtually any project.
"I customize to meet your needs."
I work with you to tailor any stone project to your specified size, material and design. I also work with your budget and can design to a specified price point.
"The highest quality, natural stone"
My original limestone and marble artwork is carved from the highest quality natural stone available. I do not use composite marble, cast stone or synthetics.
Fluent in many styles:
Classical, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau or Abstract, I carve in any style.
Walter carving a self-portrait.
"By training first with the hammer and chisel and working by hand, I gained an intimate feel for the stone and a broad repertoire and vocabulary of technique. My classic European training gives me the knowledge and freedom to select from both old and new tools and techniques."

About Watermarking:
I resisted adding watermarks to my photos for many years, but it has become an unfortunate necessity. Photos have been lifted from my site and used on many other sites to market copies and inexpensive knock-offs.
