"I live and work on the small Orkney island of Westray, enjoying the lovely flagstone, red and yellow sandstone to be found around the coastline. "Combined with my own artwork, I make memorials and other pieces from both beach and dressed stone. "Finding beauty in stone since childhood, the magic of learning to fashion stones by hand is enduring. The basic skills are simple to begin with, but endless in their possibilities." R.B.
