Ice Carving, Chocolate, Butter and
Salt Dough

Donald has been carving ice and other media for 23 years. He has trained with Mentor Ralph Rosenthal at the MFA Art School. Donald advanced his ice-carving career while employed at the Hilton International in Vienna, Austria, and the Noga Hilton in Geneva, Switzerland. He later returned to the States working part-time at Brookline Ice and Coal and the IceBox in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1986 Donald was invited to participate in First Night, a large New Year's celebration that transforms downtown Boston into a large festival with over 350 events. Donald now focuses his sculpting talents on his annual First Night sculpture.

Donald's sculptures have been seen on Good Morning America, on local Television and annually featured on the front pages of the Boston Globe and Boston Herald. If you are planning an event and want a different marketing angle, look no further. Culinary Matters can provide extravagant and spectacular installations as a promotional opportunity for your company or outdoor event.
