Stonemen Art

Stonemen Art offers a collection of interior/exterior vertical stone stacks. Ranging in 1ft-6ft with both logical and illogical appearance.

Stonemen Art creates both interior and exterior stone artwork. Our two most popular vertical series- ZEN and WHIRL have been in production since Jan 2016. Each utilizes Colorado River Jacks that are drilled and stacked on steel posts. February 2016 the SIGNATURE Series was created and began by the fusion of Trap Rip Rap with other stones, These pieces are prized and showcase the artists ability to

find opportunity within the specific stones used. July 2016 Stonemen Art began working with Limestone Rip Rap and Flag creating the INUKSUIT Series. Larger INUKSUIT are on a commission only schedule. Since our opening I have had the great opportunity to the work of Woods Davy and visited the beach in Baja California Sur Mexico where he gathered his stones for the Cantamar Series. I am also a big fan of the stone works of Carl Peverall. Moving forward into our second year I can only hope that someday our art may find a place somewhere close to the great artists that work with stone in unaltered states, taking commonplace stones and bringing them together and to life. Stonemen Art is located in Plymouth Mn with a small Studio and Outdoor Gallery. The Stonemen, RJ and his step son Jake, work side by side in concert with the stones creating all one of a kind Stone Art.

Back in town !

Opening up Studio 410 tomorrow. I've earned a ton of positive emotions from my work with Aurora Asphalt & Concrete, Inc. this winter in SWFL. And they are sponsoring my studio and new outdoor gallery space this year.

I've nothing but gratitude to each and all of Aurora Asphalt and Concrete. Believing in what's possible and offering a practicing artist the opportunity to practice freely.

I'm humbled, I'm positive. My upcoming work will show this. That's how creatives are I guess. Emotions are the driver to great works of art, no mater the disapline.

Please please share on your page if you could.
We can enhance each other's energy with simply a like and a share. It's that easy !

Keeping it real. RJ

Many of you know that I create in series. Both Whirl and Zen are most popular. The hidden gems for me as a creative are the Embrace and Signiture series.

Embrace series is descriptive of Love between two. I'll ask another what a piece from this series is telling them. 8 times of 10 they are exactly correct.

I'm not sure it is as much my ability to portray, as it is the viewer understands love and relationships. High times as well low.

So, the picture of me has the very 1st of this the series titled, First Kiss from Studio Two in Plymouth. That would make this series almost 9 years running.

So after the garden stones offering I will be moving to the Embrace Series First Kiss.
I'll make 6-8.pieces for good choices.

Celebrate with my most favorite series, and my contemplation of a First Kiss !
We have all had a few, I'm sure you can relate.

Prayers for resolution and peace.

Ready Set I'm 3 weeks away Minnesota !
Give or take a few days,,, that's how we roll.

My daily writing has helped me sort my experiance and I've only one thing to say,,,,

I've learned so much about myself the last 5 months. I think we grow most when times get tough, days become long, trials come.

The good times are to celebrate the transfer of energy from low to high. Again, we just hung in there, moving slowly as needed. Got through whatever we were struggling with.

If you guy's could stand up, you take a bow, you clap for yourself, you grin in the mirror. You made it too. We all do, one of so many commons we share.

The starting lineup for facebook offerings will be the GARDEN STONE SERIES !

These are bottom cut for mantle, table, deck patio, garden placement.

I use a 4" diamond grinder to engrave tree's and include The Cross on many.

I made, I can't guess how many and still find joy creating them. As low as $100 to several hundred.

I will post them here exclusively including price for 5 days. If you love it and the price is agreeable leave a comment "Sold"

I feel this will help us all know where things stand without my constant monitoring. Any better idea ? Please share,,,,

I believe we are a team and sharing any idea shows your interest, creativity, and knowledge.
When you think about it, that's what I'm doing for you in my artwork.

My Colorado position soured after a broken down shop door. I had to give up sking years ago anyway. It is what it is,, works well enough on this conversation.

This winter I've spent 5 months in Fort Meyers area and know I don't want to stay to long. I came into St Petersburg for an Indy race years ago and said, "I'll think about it." It's thunk and decided after my experiance at this years race.

I took a day off and with my art portfolio in hand, knocked on the two doors I had planned, both doors opened wide as the frames. Might have a Resident Artist opportunity too. I've never been one of them, why wouldn't I?

So,,,, the new outdoor gallery in Elk River Minnestota is moving from concept to reality with a open date early June. The goal is a enjoyable self guided tour with all pieces priced and ready to take home or for delivery/installation.

I will continue practicing my art over the summer months in Sudio 410 assuring a fresh offering all summer long in Elk River.

So that's what came of years of daydreams and planning. I'm 64 this year so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'll be back in Minnesota soon and looking forward to seeing you all this summer !

Sorry for the pause..... I've been in SWFL helping my friends at Aurora Asphalt & Concrete, Inc. build a professional paver and stone installation division.

I've been spending my time building relationships and alliances with the best companies around including Miromar Pools in Naples.

I've sorced the finest concrete and stone products including an incredible, relatively new product, that I believe will gain increased market share steadily.

This is all pretty much the same I've done several times in my career, so I'm simply following the template I put together and tweeked over the years.

The best part of what I'm doing is meeting all the incredible people. I'm challenged,, wondering if I ever really worked for the money.
I love people more than money, that's for sure.

I think I've done what I've done in my career simply to show myself that I could. And now I'm taking on this venture for the same reasons. Show myself what I'm capable of and find more friends. Friends help me realize why I'm here and what I am to do with my life. Love !

Miss you guys. I'll keep you filled in !

I simply gather and guide. It's the players that instil passion and work ethic to the game.
I am just a shepherd.
A few had wondered why I felt this way about myself. Those few no longer do.

Answers come to those that wait. I sure am greatful this guy waited. Holy cow, that was a close one. On point, on gaurd, and well on our way ! RJ
