Martin Cooney

I am an architectural stone carver turned reductionist curvilinear marble sculptor with 25 years experience, an NVQ Level Two from Bath College in my native England. I live in Kansas with my wife, Kris, and carve at Martin Cooney Stoneworks in Council Grove. My sculpture is light, portable and carved for full immersion in the real world.

I attended school in my home town of Preston, Lancashire, England. For five years I attended college one day a week as part of my typographical layout and design apprenticeship. Commensing in January of 2000 I attended the City of Bath College, England (now Bath College) full time for two years, where I attained my NVQ Level Two qualifications in Banker (architectural) Masonry.
