Tom Murphy has been carving wood and stone for over 30 years. After a brief battle with cancer, Tom’s life changed significantly. Carving stone has allowed him to creatively channel his recovery. Originally from Perth, Tom now lives on the Ottawa River with his beautiful wife Anne-Marie.  Tom Murphy carves soapstone, serpentine and alabaster. All of Tom’s work is done by hand, much of which expresses his love and respect of the natural environment.
