Ask the ArtisanCapture the spirit of the Western skies with this breathtaking piece of dimensional wood art, the Magpie in Flight Panel. This stunning relief carving is a true testament to the beauty that can be achieved through masterful woodworking and dramatic contrast. This is a true sculptural relief carving. The striking silhouette of the Magpie remains at the original surface level, while the surrounding field of wood is meticulously carved down and away. This technique ensures the Magpie stands proud of the surface, creating crisp edges and dynamic shadows that shift with the light, bringing the bird to life.
Kevin grew up in Cody, WY, where he was strongly influenced by Western art and the beauty of his mountain surroundings. Drawing and illustration were his first artistic expressions. He received the rare opportunity to apprentice under an Old World master wood carver from Athens, Greece, and spent five years carving European classic works and fixing a lot of broken furniture, an invaluable experience. Over the next twenty years he carved wildly and human figures and all manner of floral designs large and small. His current work focuses on designing and making architectural features, interior furnishings, and custom sculpture. Doing common things such as joinery and material selection in unexpected ways has become characteristic of his work. Beauty. Hope. Significance. These are a few of the things I hope you experience interacting with my work.
