Hello And Welcome To MARTINCOONEY.COM Established 2013
I am a professional, experienced, and traditionally trained – at the City of Bath College – stone carver, turned stone sculptor. For the past decade- and-a-half I have had the pleasure of calling the Roaring Fork Valley my home and in doing so I was invariably to encounter our local Colorado Yule Marble. So, to cut a long story short, I have been pretty much obsessed by CYM since the moment I first realized the untapped potential of this most remarkable stone. I should know, between my banker masonry in and around Bath, and my freelancing ways right here in the USA you could say that I have carved a fair few stones in my time, but nothing prepared me for just what this wild, crazy marble was able to give up. I mean just crazy impossible shapes. Then there was the interplay with light. I could go on, but I’m hoping that the pictures you will see as you scroll my website will convince you to stop what you are doing, as in right now, or after you’ve scrolled a bit, then begin to plan your trip. Visit the Rockies, see our beautiful valley, gaze at our magnificent mountains – and take home a piece. Quarried at 9,300 feet, and comprised of 30 million year-old-marble, I’ll show you just how I carve my Collection Series Marble Sculpture to be “light, portable and carved for full immersion in the real world”. Its not just a slogan, for if you have ever handled a small child – from new born to toddler – you can literally handle the majority of my signature Curvilinear Marble Sculpture, as I will show you how to cradle the piece close to your body, con-cen-trate on the task at hand, clear the route, wear good shoes, and ignore everything else. easy peasy
