Phil Hathcock
Sculptor Phil Hathcock is owner and artist-in-residence of Natural Stone Sculptures, Inc. in Cary, North Carolina. As far back as Phil can remember he always loved nature. His love of rocks and boulders and the many ways that they seemed to push up out of the ground and the new shapes and formations that they would turn into, led Phil to a career of working with stones. Since that beginning, his progression from stone mason, to landscape design and development, and founding and running Blue Ridge Stone Company, have all been stepping stones leading his way to his ultimate love - working with stones to create new and impressive formations.
During his many years of working with stones, Phil has made use of every opportunity to travel the world and study the many different ways in which rocks are formed and how they have been modified and used. On every occasion possible, Phil will travel to the quarry or the location of the special type of rock that he wishes to work with. When he is commissioned to use boulders selected by the clients, his seemingly unlimited knowledge about what ever type has been selected, allows him to provide the client with what may or may not be possible with the type of stone in question.
Phil is very conscious of staying true to his convictions. He believes that when it comes to nature, the less we do to alter it, the more beauty it will retain. The resulting philosophy is a minimalist approach to the alteration of any natural stone.
