Renée Roberts

Renée carves stone intuitively, direct carving her abstract forms.  As she carves, the stone may reveal hidden crystals, fractures or colored veins, challenging her understanding of the forms’ potential and possibilities.  She uses the tension of sharp edges and polished surfaces against the raw, natural surfaces of the stone to invite you to touch what was once cold, gray and hard as it becomes transformed into warm contours and textures.
