Our unique process
Your world becomes our world when we envision and create inspired original artworks for you.
Our Unique Process
Just as our artwork is unique, so is our process. We begin by sitting face-to-face with our clients, taking the time to understand them as soul-to-soul. This inspires us to create rare and soulful artworks which are a reflection of who they are, and the legacy they wish to leave.
Unlike other stone artists who build on-site for months, our efficient pre-built model means we fully build your unique creation inside our studio.
Inspired art and the art of healing are one and the same. There is no separation.

Congratulations! The beginning of an end and the end of the beginning of a life long journey

What a beautiful, ephemeral and unique expression of life! A breath taking reflection of the human soul.
Kelly McInnes | Registrar University of Saskatchewan
Choosing and working with 50 ton pieces of stone, the artist must also accept responsibility of care and due diligence. Andreas does so with utmost professionalism.
Professor Richard A. Conroy | Visual Art and Design Department Malaspina University
Working with design professionals such as landscape architects and structural engineers Andreas is careful to incorporate professional direction so that the art is safe, beautiful and responsible.

It was not only a beautiful fireplace but an unbelievable sculpture that fit so perfectly into our bedroom and our cabin setting that it was as if the cabin had been designed around this great piece of nature.
