West Frankfort man paints miniature scenes on rocks
David Stevens turns ordinary rocks into tiny art, painting trains, farms, and animals for commissions. He quit a frozen foods job to pursue painting, selling pieces to neighbors and truckers like Bob Curry. Stevens aims to expand to jewelry miniatures and even a possible TV appearance. His wife supports the risk as he builds a one man, self run enterprise. He notes rocks are everywhere and treasure each created piece.
