Artists
At the Ruth Conklin Gallery
|
Ruth Conklin Gallery features the wood carving sculptures
of Al Rollings and Dianne Wakefield, two renowned Leelanau County wildlife
artists.Both of these artists have extremely limited production for their heirloom
sculptures. Visit the gallery to discover one-of-a-kind carvings currently
available.
Al Rollings creates carved
images of birds from beach driftwood he finds in the Leelanau Peninsula. The
shape of the driftwood determines the selection of species for the
sculpture. Al’s background as a veterinarian assures anatomical accuracy
Dianne
Wakefield follows traditional methods of decoy carving for the birds she
creates from cedar. She is one of a few accomplished women carvers in the
United States.
