At the early age of 5, I remember telling my family that I wanted to be an artist. My last quarter of highschool, I really didn't need to go.  I had already received all of my credits. My dad encouraged me to enjoy the last days of highschool. So, I took classes such as Art, Drafting, Granite Lab (the only girl in the class), Typing and Record Keeping., Little did I know that this would turn into me having my own business. I worked for several companies before landing my own business in 1989. I started off learning from the older draftspeople. We did EVERYTHING by hand. That included using those metal spacerite letters.  It wasn't until 2002 that I got my first CAD system,   I love it! I cut stencil,  match rubbings and photos. And even make patterns.  We can design anything from scratch., In 1991, We also started etching. Our custom hand etchings give the granite the look and feel of one of a kind artwork.  https://www.facebook.com/Sonyas-Memorial-Drafting-Inc-and-Custom-Hand-Etching-457694160970794/                        We also make beautiful birdhouses.
