Folk Art
This page contains a wide variety of carvings that do not fall under any other category. They are, simply put, artistic visions I've created out of my own imagination. Birds, fish, amphibians, shellfish and others are all part of the amazing things I encounter while spending time outdoors.
As such they inspired me to create unique pieces of wildlife art that do not fit any standard "definition "
I hope you enjoy seeing a glimpse into my creative imagination below. If you have an idea for a one-of-a-kind piece of folk art carving don't hesitate to reach out to me with your commission idea.

Folk Art Birds
While a lot of my work focuses on “game birds” I also like to carve and paint all other species. I have done commissions on all different sizes of birds - from song birds, wood peckers and raptors to a penguin or two. I love the colors that all species of bird exhibit and love the challenge that a new species brings to my shop.
So please contact me with any birds you might want carved.

Folk Art Paintings
Although I am largely a three dimensional artist. I occasionally dabble in Flatwork if the subject is of interest to me. I can work from a photo, painting or even interpret an event or story that is dictated to me. The creative options are endless!
