Spring Trout Run

160933298_10160649675586978_6552443232962260574_n.jpeg

Winter is always a mixed bag creatively for me. I try to do a bit more fish decoy carving, like these trout I just finished up. I've been working on a new website for my friends at C.C. Moo medically adaptive clothing. I'm also designing a poster for a butcher shop in Maryland and doing weekly photoshoots for a construction company.
Portrait work will be picking back up soon now that the snow is gone. My event and show bookings obviously continue to be affected by the pandemic but I'm hopeful for the second half of the year to be back to "normal". Last but certainly not least I have some big news in the works that I hope to be able to officially share soon.

Website Build for the National Fish Decoy Assoc.

Excited to be able to share this project I've been working on a lot this winter! An all new modern website for the National Fish Decoy Association. Spent a considerable amount of time gathering information from three older websites and about 20 years worth of archives. Site features bios of artists with photos of their work, videos on darkhouse spearing culture, fish cooking recipes, along with past and current event information. More content and artists will continue to get added to this ever growing site. So go give it a look!

Kids Art Tent

Wow, what a perfect morning volunteering at the Kids Art Tent . I can’t believe the turnout of both kids and adults that stopped by. I made 62 cutouts for kids to paint and ran out of them shortly before the Fort Farmers Market ended. I then spent the afternoon at the Fort Fall Fiesta capturing photos of the event.

Kids Art Tent

Spent the morning as the host volunteer at the Farmers Market Kids Art Tent. Made forty four wood fish cutouts for kids to paint, which is the exact number of children that stopped by. Had many examples of fish decoys, both completed and in progress, for people to check out too. Was a great morning sharing my passion with the community and discussing the art that is part of pike and sturgeon spearing.

22nd Annual the Gathering

Standing next to my vendor display.

Had a great time at The National Fish Decoy Associations 22nd Annual The Gathering. Amazed by how the quality level, of what my fellow carvers create, goes up another notch every year. Really tough competition, as always. Managed to place in three classes and be the lone Wisconsinite representing in the top placings for the contests.
Also excited to be elected to the Board of Director for the NFDA. Looking forward to bringing fresh ideas to the association.
