From The Artist Statement

"My enthusiasm for woodcarving began in the late 1980's while a student in California. At first I carved small, voluptuous, highly finished figures, inspired by the ancient Greeks and modern masters such as Gaston Lachaise and Eli Nadelman. Since that time my carvings have become larger and more quickly rendered. This shift reflects my deepening understanding of the tools and the process of woodcarving and appreciation for rustic folk art traditions." - Roger Wing
