My passion for wood art started in a wood shop class in the early sixties, taking a route from Eastchester, NY, to North Kingstown, RI, to Tarpon Springs, FL, and finally, Waynesville, NC, along the way, learning wood carving(Oberammergau, Germany) teaching (RISDA, School of Visual Arts, NYC) and started the Ocean Wood-Turning Club. (AAW) “Understanding the mysteries and beauty of what natures forest has given us in a tree, then releasing it into a one-of-a-kind work of art is one of the most exciting moments for me when carving and discovering a new work of wood art that will live on forever and bring joy to many” Ken.
