Eddie Wozny, a native of Maryland's Eastern Shore, is a professional wood-carver and wildlife conservationist. His interest in woodcarving arises from his appreciation of wildlife and the environment coupled with the enjoyment of working with his hands.
"I receive great satisfaction from seeing my vision emerging from a block of wood."
Education
After receiving a degree in Biological Sciences from Salisbury State College, his interests compelled him to try and reproduce the abundance he saw in nature. Basically self-taught, Eddie developed his own techniques and unique carving style. Without detailed carving and texturing, his works possess realism and capture the movement of his subjects.
His Work
Eddie's work includes a vast array of waterfowl, shorebirds, upland game fowl, birds of prey, and songbirds. He also enjoys carving folk art and animals. They range in size from a tiny hummingbird to a lion sculpture. His carvings are depicted as life-size sculptures or in miniature.
Publications & Exhibits
For the past 30+ years he has displayed his work at all the major wildlife art and carving shows. His carvings are also available at selected wildlife and sporting art galleries. His work has been published in The Washington Post, Decoy Magazine, Country Living, Chesapeake Life, and Attraction Magazine.
