I knew I found my calling in life the first time that I picked up a piece of stone and began to carve it. There was something far beyond what I could explain. Something told me the Creator had given me my gift, it felt right and it felt powerful. That feeling has never left me. When I begin to carve, its like the Creator is continuing to guide me. My openness, my focus is almost like a trance. I listen to what the stone is saying to me, not in words, but with images that shows me what to carve and where. In this manner, I create unique and original works of art. I get a feeling of overwhelming happiness and excitement when a piece is finished. Then I can see that I am bringing each piece of stone to life as though it will soon breathe on its own. I carve what I see and what I sense. It is life-giving to me and my heritage, but most of all it gives expression to each piece of art, as though it has gained its own spirit, its own life.
