Artist and woodcarver in Alaska.
Fine art/illustration/fantasy/imaginative realism.
I use tiny chisels to hand carve intricate designs into painted wood panels.
Out of necessity, I now work ambidextrously 🙌

Hello!
Let me introduce myself… I am a professional artist in Alaska, and I hand carve intricate details into painted wood panels.

#art A few years back I was training to be ambidextrous after an injury to my right hand by drawing separate images simultaneously. It really helped! I eventually went on to carve left handed.

Sold!

One of my favorite pieces I’ve done found it’s new home last month!
Time to start thinking about starting some new pieces I believe.

Where are people ordering bulk paper prints these days? I’ve been doing more specialty items like wood prints for years now, but I’d like to add a more affordable option as well.

What are your recs?

Just getting started here so let's see....hmmm...Bone Babes I have painted thus-far. Yes, I'll start there.

Artists I am having a hard time finding you here so say what's up! I need to fill my feed with awesome so that I don't get diagnosed with "You are boring; here read about Putin."

Migrating over here in search of bluer skies. To start things off, and in honor of the impending release of 'Wind and Truth,' here's some of my past work for the lovely folk over at Dragonsteel for Brandon Sanderson's 'Stormlight Archive'!

Simultaneously drawn Jackrabbits!
These were part of my lefty practice when I was teaching my non dominant hand to wield a chisel! #amiambidextrousnow?
