Omni is a very passionate artist with a special place in her heart for Pounamu and this shows in the stunning artistry and the incredible quality of her work.
Omni first found her passion for the craft when she attended an exhibition of jade carvings by Don Salt. She was awed and deeply moved by the perfect beauty and intrinsic soul of his works. This inspiration stayed with Omni so she was very pleased when in 1989 Don consented to instruct her in basic stone working skills. Her growing passion and love for jade had influenced her attitudes and way of life ever since.

Terry's designs are contemporary but often reflect his sense of humour with their quirky, fun style. Ruth had helped Terry with the finishing work on his pieces and only started working stone herself recently. Ruth loves the outdoors, especially the beach and native bush so her pieces reflect this love of nature.
These two amazing artists have a real passion for their work and love nothing more than talking to people about their stones which is why you will still see them at the Nelson markets every Saturday morning.
