Exceptional wood sculptures by Bill Wohlford.
Bill is a Mid-western artist who transforms wood into three-dimensional
works for walls and tables.
His work is sometimes whimsical sometimes serious but always unique.
He has evolved to combine wood sculpture with painting in a way
that brings depth to flat work and color to enhance the rich tones of wood.
Much of Bill's work involves the human form, some stylized and some realistic.
He sets out to create pieces that are pleasing to the eye without being confusing to the observer.
There are no hidden meanings or surreal statements with his creations
only soft combinations of form and color.
* Bill will be away Sept. 8th thru 15th. No shipping at this time.
