Welcome to my site! Please feel
free to browse through the galleries, I hope you see something that makes
you smile or touches you in a special way! I enjoy doing all types of
carvings but Santas are my personal favorite and you will find more of
them than anything else.
I've heard it said that to be happiest in life one must find
something they are truly passionate about. In December 2000, when I first
put knife to wood, I realized that was exactly what I had found!
I've always been what I consider a 'crafty' person, drawing
and sketching since childhood. With no formal training, I've tried my hand
at oil painting, water colors and pastels. I've taught myself to sew,
knit, crochet and do needlepoint and have done many craft type projects. Now I feel all those things were leading me to what I love doing more than
anything else, taking a block of wood and bringing out what I can see
inside of it. All work is done entirely by me, from the sketching of ideas
to the final coat of satin finish that gives each piece it's warm glow. Each piece is then signed, dated and numbered. I hope you enjoy seeing
what I can find!
My work may be purchased, as available or ordered directly, through myself or
these fine Galleries, in the Chicago area at
FolkWorks Gallery.
In the Baltimore area, at
Vincenti Decoys.
In the Seattle area, at
Reasons to Believe. If you are interested
in commissioning a carving or if you have any questions, please feel free
to contact me.
Please take a moment to sign my
guest book and leave a
message if you wish, I'd love to hear what you think of my work!
Thanks
for visiting!
Deborah
