About the Instructor:

I am a full-time wood carver from Carlisle Pa. specializing in caricature carving. Always enjoying the humorous side of life, I found Caricature Carving allows me to express this and feel there is no better praise than to see people smiling and watching their expressions while looking at my carvings. In 2015, I was inducted into the Caricature Carvers of America and now the current President. I am a member of the Conewago Carvers – East Berlin Pa, the Lancaster County Wood Carvers – Lancaster Pa, the West Shore Wood Carvers – Mechanicsburg Pa, and the Yellow Breeches Chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsman. I am fortunate to teach seminars across the country and regularly speak to various groups on the art of Wood Carving.
