For over 25 years, Miles Slater has been tutored, mentored, and guided by master marble artisiani from the Renaissance town of Pietrasanta in Western Tuscany. The study of human form set the foundation for his metamorphosis into a more abstract representational and abstract works.
Until recently, almost all of his works have benefitted philanthropic organizations- many through sculptural works designed specifically for or through the sale proceeds directed to the specific organization.
Miles sculptures reside in homes, religious and civil organizations, and hospitals throughout the world. He combines the skills he learned from the masters with the best materials- particularly Bardiglio Marble- to create his unique works.
