First ever comprehensive exhibition of American Masters of Stone is featured in a new 3D interactive Virtual World

Our first ever museum quality comprehensive exhibition took place in 3D virtual reality on a site called Second World (SL). (See article listed below.) The interest garnered by this exhibition created a second larger exhibit in a permanent space in virtual reality. To go to see this new exhibit you must log onto Second World and travel to the 13th floor of the Crossworlds Gallery. There are almost 100 selected pieces from our database featured. This exhibit specifically showcases the commesso di pietre dure e tenere "gemstone paintings."

Web Changes

This is where we announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first.

We have just added four new How-to articles, two by William Grundke, one by Tom and Kay Benham, and another by Olive Colhour.

Several new artists have had their images and biographies loaded onto the site. As we continue to find time, we will add more artists, selected information from a Power Point Presentation, "A Lost Art" that we have used in presentations and lectures, other presentations, and even more How-to articles by Charles Smart, Al & Mryl Cook, and Leonard Perkins. Our ultimate intent is to include a catalog of all those artists that have been identified in North America.
