Cherie Christiansen and Franz Arner have been designing gardens and carving stone for over thirty years in Northern California. Their work has been commissioned by some of the most acclaimed architects and landscape architects and designers of America. They live, design and sculpt in Mendocino, California. They are currently exhibiting at galleries in Northern California and at their own Sculpture Garden in Mendocino.

At their studio in the woods of Mendocino they work with a number of kinds of stone from all over the world. Here they have a large crane that enables them to handle everything from stones weighing hundreds of pounds to monumental pieces weighing well over seven tons. Adjacent to their carving studio is their Sculpture Garden.

Here set among paths meandering through the trees they have finished work on display. In this setting their work can be viewed and understood in the context of the living landscape.
