Born and raised in Iowa, now living in Hannibal Missouri.  
I've been chipping flint for around 15 years, and carving for about half that time, but forever have been in awe of the gifts given by my Creator.  If it wasn't for the gift of the round molecule in a random order and the concoidal shockwave, I wonder if anyone of us would be here!   All cultures were involved in stone tool making, wither your Irish like myself , German,  or Italian, all our ancestors chipped flint, old world and new.

I see my art involving the emotions, mind, body and spirit, thus FlintSpirit.com was created.   All the materials from stone to bone came from the earth, a fundemental truth and again a gift from God... I'm so grateful for the creativity to manipulate the materials to bring you this art form.
