Don
Dewey has been an avid fisherman and lover of art all of his life.
Five years ago he attempted to combine these interests by carving
fish sculptures. Early results were certainly not world class,
but were encouraging. They must have been as Don has completed
over 200 pieces. These sculptures range from small aquarium fish
such as Betta and Discus to 60 different fresh and salt water
species. He's also done two waterfowl pieces - one as a gift and
the other a blue ribbon winner. In competing his work at carving
shows, Don has entered 21 fish. All have received awards from
the judges to include several best in class and best in category.
Don's
work is carried in art galleries, craft shops and well known retail
shops such as the Orvis Company. This representation has been
gratifying but best of all for Don is the feeling he gets in knowing
that someone else receives pleasure from the sculptures he creates.

you wish to learn more about the work, are considering a purchase,

If
you don't see the fish you'd like in viewing the gallery, Don
can create it for you!
