About the Artist
Artist Statement
My work revolves around the creation of wall or free standing sea and animal wildlife pieces in wood . Each piece is an original work, signed and copyrighted for indoor display only. The pieces I carve are far different from most wood carvers out there. These have a very real feel, flowing gracefully in the pose. It is because of the great drawing background I have, working the sketch prior to the carving, ending in a very striking piece of work....
