MONUMENTS  by  Miller

Both of his grandfathers were woodcarvers, and wood was Tom's forte as well until the art professors at Laguna Beach School of Art in California placed stone-carving tools in his naturally talented hands.

Since his graduation in 1980, Tom has amassed extensive professional experience in sculpting and cutting. Many of his pieces have obtained national recognition.

​

He has studied in Europe, acquiring hands-on experience with some of the world's greatest stone cutters in Pietrasanta, Italy, and participated in the St. Paul Winter Carnival Ice Sculpture Competition for a number of years.

Tom has worked extensively with Kasota Limestone, Indian Limestone, Granite, Italian Marble, and Colorado Marble.  He is skilled in sandblasting for granite letter cutting, diamond etching, stone sculpture and stone restoration, from artistic to simplistic.
