This article is from the Journal Record in Oklahoma City about Brenda Hickerson, artist at Willis Granite. Brenda is the youngest of three daughters running the family business, Willis Granite in Granite, OK. For four generations, the Willis family has been designing, cutting, carving, sandblasting and installing stone monumnents around the world. Most of the letter engraving on a granite monument is done by machine sandblasting anymore, while artistic textures and subtle tone differences are done by hand with carbide-tipped tools, by Hickerson and her sister Linda Morris.
