"A WAY WITH WOOD" Bird & Wildfowl Carvings |

Artist Profile
I would call myself a 'self taught multi media artist, thinking back over the years. For 12 years, soft sculpture, one of a kind, intrigued me, and was a pleasant diversion for me while my family was growing up. I ventured into wood carving in 1998, with my talented Mother as my mentor. She had begun carving birds and wild fowl at 60 years of age, and encouraged me to give it a try. I quickly found my 'passion'. I was luckily enough to place very well in the novice division at woodcarving shows within the first 2 years and moved on to intermediate at that point. I presently do 4 - 5 shows a year, relishing in the critiques of the judges to assist in my growth as a carver. I was proud to place 2nd for two years in a row at the novice level in the Ward World Carving Competition in Ocean City, Md., one of which won the purchase award for a miniature heron in 2002 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. I have received ribbons or placings for most carvings entered into shows, and look forward to progressing in my chosen craft in the future. |
