Dawn visits the Vulcan Materials Company, Upland, CA

Dawn's love for rocks and interest in how they affect our economy and our everyday lives, led her to tour the Vulcan Materials Company in Upland, CA. The tour included a drive down into Vulcan's Upland quarry where the actual mining of rocks takes place.

Welcome to my home on the web. Ten years ago when I began painting structures on stone I did so out of a personal passion for architecture and a desire to capture the beauty of a building on something other than the traditional canvas. In addition, I have always had a love for the natural beauty and endless shapes of rocks. The "weightiness" of a stone just seemed to fit with the idea of a building painted on it.

The response has been absolutely wonderful. I am proud to say that the owners of the rocks view them as family heirlooms to be passed down through generations. Many people have told me that they "love seeing both the FRONT and BACK of the structure painted in such detail."

The reasons for commissioning a rock vary greatly. Many simply want to have the front and back of their home or business captured in this very unique and exciting way. Sometimes a family is moving and they want to take their home or business with them. Sometimes it is a surprise for the person who “has everything", or for a colleague or retiree. Each project, no matter how large or small, is very exciting to me and I always look forward to the wonderful response the finished work inspires at Presentation time.

If you would like to commission a Stone or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at sketchedinstone@hotmail.com. I also welcome your comments in my guestbook. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for dropping by my web studio!
