Michelangelo’s Pieta set the standard for sculptural excellence in his depiction of Mother Mary and the crucified Christ.  A marble masterpiece of detail and precision.

However, over the millenia, the meaning of Pieta has grown from the traditional forms found in Oil and Stone to a more vibrant purpose of life reflected in art that reveals our true purpose.

Pieta is now the term of art that is best suited to express Love.

This new site will examine how the Pieta has come to influence so many over the centuries.  And will document my own attempt to carve this Pieta in the spirit of our generation.

Using white marble cut from the great mountains of Colorado, I will saw, hammer, chip and carve unforgiving stone in a humble attempt to bring love to life from something hard and cold.

So bookmark this page, and follow with me…  I have no idea if I will succeed or fail…  Will there be a new Pieta for us to adore? Or, tons of Pieces on my studio floor.
