I am a Maine-based sculptor who has been carving wood and stone for over 25 years. Since 2009, I’ve worked full-time in granite and marble at Starfish Studio, which I share with my wife and fellow artist, Priscilla May Alden—a fiber artist and printmaker. My sculptural practice is grounded in direct carving, allowing the natural rhythm and energy of each stone to guide the creative process.As the renowned Maine sculptor William Zorach once said, “Rhythm is a cosmic force… the sense of movement is deeply rooted, it is universal.” This quote reflects my approach: I strive to shape each granite or marble sculpture to evoke movement, balance, and harmony. For me, the challenge—and joy—lies in uncovering the unique spirit and potential within every stone I work with.
