His work is held in private collections across Europe and beyond.

Stone is currently exhibiting at the Art and Soul International Sculpture Exhibition in Ireland alongside leading international artists including Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, and Tracey Emin.

He is represented by Gormley’s Fine Art (Ireland) and Olas Gallery (Ibiza). While his career has largely unfolded outside the mainstream spotlight, his work has gained steady recognition from collectors, galleries, and fellow artists over many years of continuous practice.
