This is a bas-relief carving on black slate quarried in the town of Monson Maine. It is a carving of an ancient ornamental architectural design, which I have been studying for quite some time now. Hopefully you can agree with me that such designs fit well in most home dwellings or businesses.

My Life as an Artist, In the canvas of my youth, I drew the world beyond various windows, creating what I affectionately called 'window art.' As a budding artist, the scenes outside became my inspiration, each stroke capturing the beauty and nuances of the changing landscapes. The chapters of my artistic journey took a significant turn when I inherited my father's collection of books on ancient architectural designs. Though my father had a general interest in architecture, it was the ancient structures that captivated me. The intricate details and timeless beauty depicted in those books opened a gateway to a passion that would shape the course of my life. Then one day while driving throughout Maine, I stopped in Monson Maine where it became obvious that this area had an overwhelming amount of black slate. After becoming aware that this slate was easy to carve, as I tried writing my name on it with my knife, I became very intrigued with the possibilities. I then rushed to do research at my local library and found a book written by an author named Frank Eliscu where he described how to carve slate. Other than reading this book I consider myself as being self-taught. One of my most prized pieces is a 3 x 3-foot carving of a city seal done for the city of Lewiston, Maine, where I reside. I was recently awarded by the city mayor for doing that carving. The pinnacle of my architectural odyssey unfolded in Greece, where I had the privilege of walking through the hallowed halls of the Parthenon Temple. The weight of history pressed upon me as I treaded the same steps as generations past, dating back to the zenith of Greek society. This profound experience ignited a fire within me, and I committed myself to studying the ancient architectural discipline. Amidst my journey, there was a yearning for something more as in a paternal approval that remained elusive. My father's untimely passing at the age of 62 left me desperately seeking a nod of acknowledgment for my chosen path. I held onto the belief that he was watching from above, appreciating my bas-relief carving artwork, and guiding my artistic endeavors. This conviction fueled my dedication to architectural design, turning it into a lifelong pursuit. Today, I express my gratitude to my father, whispering a heartfelt 'thanks, Dad' as I shape history into tangible art through my bas-relief carvings.
