Scott Cahaly is a Stone Sculptor and Painter living and working in the Boston Area. He never made any art before the age twenty-one while a student at the University of Vermont during the mid-nineties. While a lot of artists add to get results, Scott's is a natural reductive mind. The idea that the image is already there and that the Artists job is to reveal it is his motto! Scott can be found most days carving away at marble/alabaster or teaching others how to..
