Pictish Stone Carving
Artis Frank Maurer has traced his ancestral connections to the Picts of Scotland, the master Celtic stonecarvers. The Picts predated by many centuries the Scotti, who settled Scotland from Ireland in the 4th-5th c. AD.
Launching his stonecarving career with a miniature of the beautiful symbol stone-- The Craw Stane (circa 6th c. AD)--of Rhynie (Gordon District) Scotland, the artist has branched out, creating both Celtic and non-Celtic themes in stone for viewers' eternal delight.
Frank Maurer holds a doctorate in Vertebrate Zoology and Ecology from Cornell University, and has been interpreting the world and its fascinating biological systems to his fellow humans for several decades.
