Wood Artist

Loris Marazzi

Marazzi focuses on using wood to create "living' sculptures that symbolize his depth of human imagination. The sculptures are made from the cirmolo's wood, an old italian pine that grows on the Dolomite mountains, above 200 metros, near Cortina. His wood art can be seen as modern art.

This might be the most amazing thing I have ever seen be made out of wood. 

James Atkin

James Atkin has been creating high relief woodcarvings on Vancouver Island for close to twenty years.  His calling as a woodcarver was born out of a life long affiliation with wood, a love of art and a need to create. While recovering from a series of surgeries and with a need to channel energy and frustration, he started carving. Completely self-taught, what began as a form of therapy has gradually blossomed into a passion that is almost an obsession.

Mark Lindquist

Mark Lindquist has been an innovator and leader in the field of woodturning/sculpture since the late 1960s. Lindquist's thirty-plus years of contributions to contemporary art have altered the direction of woodturning and sculpture worldwide.Mark Lindquist's sculpture has evolved out of his art historical studies and his mastery of, and experimentation with, the craft of woodturning. Beginning in the late 1960s, he developed many of the techniques and aesthetic concepts which underlie the current studio woodturning movement, including the use of flawed materials (especially spalted wood), the application of modern abrasive technology, and the integration of Japanese ceramic sensibilities.
