Ross Parkinson
Born in 1958, Ross became a full time sculptor at the age of 17. His love of nature and wildlife led him to create many wonderful sculptures in stone including a large bear that Pierre Trudeau gave to Princess Diana and Prince Charles on their wedding.
The Stone of choice for Ross is a Canadian Steatite or Soapstone. It is quarried in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, approximately 200 miles east of his studio. Each piece is a unique and hand-carved creation.

Né en 1958, Ross est devenu un sculpteur à temps plein à l'âge de 17 ans. Son amour pour la nature et la vie sauvage l'ont amené à créer de magnifiques sculptures en pierre dont un grand ours que Pierre E.Trudeau a offert à la Princesse Diana et au Prince Charles pour leur mariage.
Le choix de pierre préféré de Ross est la stéatite canadienne et la pierre à savon extraite dans les Cantons de l'Est à environ 200 milles de son atelier. Chaque pièce est unique et sculptée à la main.
