Michael's most recent ventures have taken him into the Carrera mountains in Italy where he studied marble carving. He spent a month in the town of Pietrasanta where an old master taught him how to work with marble. Although many people that know him kept speaking to him like he had been on vacation, he spent the great majority of his time working. It was an incredible experience an a great encounter of knowledge that has been around for centuries.
While there, he was able to visit many of Michaelangelo's works along with Bernini, Canova, and many other well-known sculptors. He also made a stop in Paris and was able to go to the Louvre for two days and was very impressed by the work there.
As he is awaiting the shipment of his marble from Italy, he is working on sculptures here. After his most recent pubic artwork in South Jordan City (see photo), he has a strong desire to do more. Public art is something that everyone can benefit from, especially those who aren't normally exposed to artworks. He can also see after being in Rome and Pietrasanta that sculpture beautifies and accentuates cities and towns.
