Artist Biography
Calvin Babich made a mid-life career change and began a career in stone masonry while simultaneously beginning his journey to become a stone sculptor. His career has evolved from full time stone mason to a combination of stone mason and stone artist. As an artist, he creates sculptural fountains and water features, executes artistic rock placement, and carves or composes large scale sculptures.
He has participated in sculpting symposia and workshops, including the Limestone Symposium in Bloomington, Indiana, and the Chapunga African stone sculpting workshop at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio.
Calvin has participated in juried exhibits at museums, galleries, and public spaces throughout Ohio and Michigan. He has twice been selected for the Toledo Area Artists Exhibition in Toledo, Ohio, and for Sculpture in the Garden in Elmore, Ohio. A resident of Toledo, Ohio, Calvin has many pieces on permanent display in public places as well as in private collections.

Artist Statement:
Stone has an undeniable presence and I have a passion for stone sculpture. Some of my pieces are carved with great detail and others are assembled to create a more organic composition. Many of my outdoor sculptures are larger than life size, and some of them incorporate water.

I like combining the neutrality of limestone with the dark hues of soapstone.
This piece is part of an ongoing exploration of shape and texture.
