Thank you for your interest in DragonWynd Designs.
I have been an artist and woodworker for most of my life, but over the past 12 years I have been slowly blending them together.

  Coming full circle, I really wanted to take it to another level. Doing the carvings is just one more area that I really wanted to try out. When I was in Montana, I saw a lot of antler carvings of animal totems and Native American designs. This led me to the idea of doing some Celtic/Pagan designs, as well as just some nature figures in natural settings.
I like being one with the Earth and I tread carefully here on the farm. I bought this old farm house and land about 3 years ago and have been working on it ever since. It's been something of a love/hate relationship from the beginning, but something that I can’t walk away from. It has been a lot of hard work, from restoring the inside of the house to building the cedar fence out front, to restoring the old barns. I want it to be a place of solitude and good energy for all that come here to enjoy.  

The “boys”, Jack and Finn, are always full of energy and love the surrounding woods on our little farm. They run about finding new things to sniff out and chase when the occasion arises. We have wild turkey, rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, deer and, now, our chickens, so they are kept very busy to say the least; well, except for the chickens, they aren't allowed to bother them.

When working, I try to relay good energy in every piece that I do so as to pass that energy on to the next person. My work is custom and all hand crafted from start to finish. I use only natural shed antler that comes from Montana. I build, stretch and prime each canvas as well. I enjoy doing it and like the time that is spent; seeing it come together. I prefer to do custom work, whether it is doing a drawing and carving it from your design or coming up with one just out of my head. Sometimes I will do a repeat of a certain piece when I get a strong request for it, but I do try to change it a bit so that each piece is original, yet different.

 

Pricing varies for each piece. I do ask for 50% upfront on commissioned work.
I hope you enjoy my site. Please feel free to e-mail me or contact me by phone for any questions you may have.
