Limestone Log with Frogs  - Truman Edison

 


 


 

 

 

 

 



Indianapolis based sculptor, Truman Edison, has been carving Indiana limestone since 2017. Since then, he has carved several
commissioned pieces as well as many for his own education. Truman has long admired the limestone craftsmanship and artistry on display in his home city of Indianapolis and across the state of Indiana. As his portfolio grows, Truman looks forward to adding his work to that proud tradition. Examples of his past work are on display at his website:
