Antonia stone carved sculpture convey a sense of calm and tranquility, a moment stopped in time. She has worked with stone for over twenty years making contemporary sculpture and repairing ancient stone sculpture on cathedrals and historic monuments in Britain and France.
Stone can hold such stillness; the moment a bird or angel rests its wings. Antonia take inanimate stone and breathe life into it and makes sculptures full of character and humour.
