PUZZLES      CARVING CLASSES

Welcome to Stephen Aardsma's Woodcarving Studio!  Woodcarving Artist Stephen Aardsma creates vividly lifelike hand-painted hand-carved sculptures of wildlife.  Each realistic creation is hand carved out of basswood, then hand painted; legs are made from wire. Aardsma's details are extraordinary, resulting in a piece of art that looks as though it may fly or walk away.

You're invited to browse through the available art pieces below and contact Stephen directly to purchase or for additional information.

"A strong feature of Aardsma's work is his devotion to detail... A chipmunk sitting on a rock, enjoying a nut, looks lifelike in the groomed tidiness of its fur and the fine tuning of its small paws.  His depictions of birds thrill collectors of this genre."              -Chicago Tribune, March 13, 2005
