PETRO HUL Santa Fe, NM

Petro Hul began working with stone nearly 40 years ago as a landscape stonemason and he began carving sculptures shortly thereafter.  He was a staff member at the Johnson Atelier Institute for Sculpture and a staff sculptor at the Digital Stone Project.  He received his MFA from Mason Gross School of Art in 2005.  As a carver, he combines the use of traditional hand tools along with contemporary power tools to create his stone sculptures.  Petro sees himself as a student of stone and he is continually working to improve his craft, both as a technician and a creative sculptor. 

Originally from New Jersey, Petro now lives in Santa Fe, NM, where he teaches sculpture classes at Santa Fe Community College and continues his studio practice.  In his sculpture, Petro melds his passion for stone with his love of canyon country and the natural world.  His latest sculptures reflect his interpretations of the geology of the southwest and the canyons of the Colorado Plateau.  PetroHul.com

ANN CUNNINGHAM Golden, CO
Ann started sculpting stone when she was 15 years old but it wasn’t until 1992 that she wondered if the low relief slate pictures she was making could be understood by someone who was blind. She learned through creating and exhibiting artwork nationally, and teaching art at the Colorado Center for the Blind that the answer is an unqualified “Yes!” Ann Cunningham has also created numerous large scale artworks for public and private collections in the United States and Canada.
