THE ARTIST
In 1989, Judy Tripp began
sculpting shore birds and water mammals from the finest domestic and exotic
hardwoods. These creations were not intended to be "biologically
correct" but crafted with an artistic view to show the natural beauty of
both the subject and the grain of the wood.
Judy handcrafts many of natures
beautiful creations but has focused her art on birds such as herons and egrets
that exhibit the grace and beauty of long necked birds. She has won several
awards and exhibited her work at many galleries and museums.
Several years ago, Judy brought
her carving talents to creating items of functional value yet maintaining the
beauty of handcrafted natural wood in art form. The results were wood utensils
each unique with no two being alike. Domestic woods used to create these
collectible but usable items are cherry, maple, birch and walnut. Exotic woods
used are mahogany, padouk, teak and cocobolo
