Artist and woodcarver in Alaska. Fine art/illustration/fantasy/imaginative realism. I use tiny chisels to hand carve intricate designs into painted wood panels. Out of necessity, I now work ambidextrously 🙌 www.mfanwydean.com

Hello!
Let me introduce myself… I am a professional artist in Alaska, and I hand carve intricate details into painted wood panels.

Alaska is a beautiful place to live, these pictures are on the homestead, my folks are artists, even when they turn to architecture.

#art A few years back I was training to be ambidextrous after an injury to my right hand by drawing separate images simultaneously. It really helped! I eventually went on to carve left handed.

Sold!

One of my favorite pieces I’ve done found it’s new home last month!
Time to start thinking about starting some new pieces I believe.

Where are people ordering bulk paper prints these days? I’ve been doing more specialty items like wood prints for years now, but I’d like to add a more affordable option as well.

What are your recs?

Migrating over here in search of bluer skies. To start things off, and in honor of the impending release of 'Wind and Truth,' here's some of my past work for the lovely folk over at Dragonsteel for Brandon Sanderson's 'Stormlight Archive'!
