Dawn describes Cumar’s success as a “magical family recipe that is essential in the stone industry.” She has always admired the depths of passion and talent at Cumar. She says, “Cumar makes magnificent stone art pieces. The team is an endless source of technical information and innovative vision. Since I started my career in the stone business, Ivo [of Cumar, Inc.] has always been a mentor to me. This is the perfect place to continue and grow my career.” Of her new position at Cumar, Dawn says, “Cumar has long been a leader in our unique industry. One of the reasons I am very proud to be the newest member of this remarkable team is because Cumar consistently delivers legendary museum quality stone art, even in small projects that have conservative budgets. Clients turn to Cumar in complete confidence that even their thresholds will be exquisite.”

She smiles when the topic of technology comes up because she believes that Cumar defines state of the art in New England. “It is not easy marrying modern technology with finely crafted, hand-tooled stone art, but Ivo has seven generations of solid experience backing his perfection of this marriage with an eye on the future.” The combination of Dawn’s talent and reputation and Cumar’s talent, reputation, and expertise is taking stone design and fabrication to a completely new level. Clients will continue to benefit from stellar customer service, exceptional project management and now extraordinary and thought-provoking design concepts. Dawn sums it up perfectly. “This is what New England’s design elite expects and, most importantly, deserves.”
