Artist Statement:
I am commited to creating the
most realistic replicas of
Wild Birds, from Wood !
All Work is done Lifesized and
in flight with wings
outstretched, ready to fly
into Your life !( unless
requested otherwise by
commission )
I try to duplicate all the
realism I possibly can,and
Being a "Sick Perfectionist" ,
enables Me to do this with
extraordinary patience.
I love Wood, the smell of it,
the feel of it, its
versatility of use, and the
results it offers in the
finished product.
I feel that if not for the
"Tree" itself, Mankind would
be at an alltime standstill
after the invention of the
wheel !
I never duplicate any of My
Artwork, thereby making sure
each piece is a "One of a
kind" original piece of Art. I
include a certificate of
authenticity and insurance
value certificate with ea.
piece.
I I accept commission work,
and will consider any request.
My website,
http://www.woodbirdsinflight.c
om
holds many good examples of My
work to date, and will be
updated as soon as a new piece
is finished and ready for sale
or display.
I thank You for Your time.
"Live long...and prosper !"

| Your Personal Biography |
I am a long time lover of Wood, ever since I was a Youngster, and 'Carved' my first head out of a piece of 2x4 lumber. I have been fascinated with the qualities and versatility of Wood ever since.
I learned to Oil paint myself, using the examples of 'Alexander' and Robbins, and though I have No formal traing as an artist, I have always Been an Artist, and Musician, with natural skills to do both, well.
Other than that, I am formerly a Paramedic, emergency response Trainor,bio-medical engineer and have had many years working in the emergency service fields of medicine.
I have saved over 60 lives during My own lifetime, alone and without aid, and tho never labled a Hero, I was glad to be there when someone needed Me the most, with the skills neccessary to save them.
Very rewarding times !
Recently, after a Very bad car wreck, in which I died, but was revived and brought 'back from the dead', I developed the unique ability of Carving Lifelike 'Birds in Flight', and I attribute this to a after life meeting with My departed grandmother Marie, Who guided Me back from the eternal abyss. I love Her dearly, and didn't want to return to life, however, it was She Who giuded me and told Me there was More for Me to do. I now know what She was reffering to.
I must carve Birds. That's all I know, I am compelled to do so, tho never having done so before.
So...I now express Myself through My artwork and sculptures, which eases the burden of being an 'Un-Sung Hero', as well as the fact that I Died, yet returned to finish the goals destiny has laid before Me .
I owe My very survival to this point in life, to My lovely Wife, Who has nurtured My artistic abilities showing Me her supportive love and critisism of My work. I love Her dearly, and thank Her for Putting up with Me for 30 yrs.
Thank You for Your interest.
I wish You all peace and happiness ! |
