After years of working in the industrial diamond industry - including equipment and accessories for fabricating natural stone - Ben Levy found himself intrigued by the thought of sculpture. And after studying with a sculpting professional in his hometown in Virginia Beach, VA, Levy opened his first exhibit earlier this year.
Levy - who works for Regent Stone Products, a supplier of stone fabricating tools and accessories - became involved in the craft while evaluating various diamond tools for stone fabrication. "I was testing how the different tools would work on different stone shapes, and it went from there," he said.
