Birthplace
New York City
Lucia Mercer's knowledge of stone is first-hand and in-depth. After
training in landscape architecture at Cornell University and
subsequently studying in the Soviet Union, she returned in 1979 to
form an apprenticeship with the Cold Spring Granite Quarry in
Ausable Forks, New York. Mercer began working with Knoll in 1980,
when she first presented her concept for her collection. Her desire
for an industrial studio of her won led her recently to Granite
Industries of Vermont, and she currently works on several
commissions in conjunction with Judith Stockman & Associates.
