| Vermont black slate or argolite is used for all of my bas-relief sculptures. These stones are very versatile in that they can be incorporated into masonry around the home; such as brick or stone walls, garden walls, and fireplace mantels, or simply displayed on a wall... mounted on a finished wood plaque or even a miniature easel. They make an excellent personal award as well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This stone was made for a bright young Paramedic in Zaandijk, The Netherlands. 'Doc' Bas Kuiper. The symbol is well known, but these men & women are just kind faces and comforting soft words in times of distress. The unsung 'modern' heroes! FORTITUDO-VOLO-PIETAS! Courage-Speed-Compassion! |
