Glenmont sculptor George Korenko is living testimony to that. When he returned from Vermont with his first block of granite about 10 years ago; by his own admis sion he had nothing to go along with it. No tools and no training. So, for a relative beginner, he's garnered some nice recognition. Most recently. he received an award from the Allied Artists of America for a piece included in a juried show at the National Arts Club in New York City. He also received two other national awards - in 1987 and 1990. But, even though the awards give him a warm feeling inside, that's not the reason he spends endless hours carving and polish ing his marble sculptures. When he gets into the actual carving, the 43-year-old native of Czechoslovakia likens it to a meditative state. "I can block out the outside world." And that's probably a good thing, because one slip can ruin a 5O().pound block· ~y day George Korenko is a steel fabricator and in his of Georgia marble. free time he's an artist.
