About Me

Our culture seems to look down on people with a lot of varied interests. I have several businesses and causes, and though I'm a Jack of all trades, I am a master at these.

 

New Green Finishes

Along with Stone restoration, I'm now working at decorative art, murals and faux finishing. Faux is the new old, and the new old is the new green! Save endangered types of wood or the expense and weight of stone by replicating these types of finishes in paint and texture. Old architectural elements can be restored to give your new, or old, space more character. Add a window between two rooms to open up the space, or add a trompe l'oeil window on a magical world! Please see my facebook page for the current project. New Green Finishes

StoneAngels.Org

One way that my interest in honoring the past has manifested itself is by helping people restore cemeteries, hand-carved gravestones and cemetery art. . A cemetery is a combination of a park, an art museum and an historical archive. When I see a cemetery that's been vandalized or forgotten, it makes me very sad. Unfortunately, there are few of the grants and other sources available for the restoration of cemeteries that one might find for restoring an old building, for example. But I've made it one of my life's goals to assist people in the restoration of these beautiful and important places that honor our ancestors. StoneAngels.org is dedicated to providing the education and materials people need to repair and restore their own damaged cemeteries.
