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.
     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. 

"There's a certain beauty in simplicity.  My work is an individual, hand-carved, one-of-a-kind object of art in this mass-produced, throwaway society."  "I feel I am creating an object of beauty...something people aren't going to get tired of and throw away, but hand it down through generations."  "I receive great satisfaction from seeing my vision emerging from a block of wood."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.
   For the past seventeen 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
