A selected number of Marguerite Bride’s original paintings are the basis for an entirely new type of presentation and medium. Bride’s work is now engraved in stone, literally, and painted with a new, vivid sense of presence.

     Working with Barbara Sample at RGile Engravers in Pittsfield, a high resolution digital image of a painting is engraved onto a piece of granite. The result at this initial point is white on black, but it doesn’t stop there. The artist personally applies paint to selected areas of the image, which is then sealed and polished. Each granite painting, even those of the same scene, is unique and original.

     Besides hanging and just enjoying it as a work of art, art on granite is suitable for use in kitchen and bathrooms as unique backsplashes. Multi-tile murals will also be created using this process.

     And if you have had a house portrait done by Bride, imagine a small plaque hanging by your door with an engraved painted image of your home. Custom orders are welcome.
