I am absolutely captivated by the radiant beauty of melted colored glass fused to metal. I discovered enameling as a powerful medium for artistic expression because of it s limitless potential for experimentation and sometimes unpredictable results. Rather than focusing completely on the initial motivation, I am actively responsive and passively open to the unexpected. I feel that working with enamel in this way is creating an exciting and evolving journey for myself.

I have been dive bombed by red-winged black birds, almost drove off the road watching a bald eagle fish on the Clearwater, watched a raft of mergansers attack a school of fish, and was stared down by a barn owl. I try to incorporate those experiences into my wood carvings so that the beauty and excitement of the outdoors can be brought into someone's home.

Ted is a second generation artist and has been a full time wildfowl carver since 1979. He has been the feature artist in shows such as the Columbia Flyway Wildfowl Show in Vancouver Washington, the Ellensburg National Art Show in Ellensburg, Washington, the Easton Waterfowl Festival, in Easton, Maryland. His carvings have graced the cover of Wildlife Art and were featured in Idaho Wildlife Magazine. He was also one of the artist featured in Cort Conley's "Idaho Artist: A Contemporary Selection.

I carve highly detailed and painted songbirds, game birds and raptors which are shown and sold throughout the Pacific Northwest. These birds are carved one at a time. There is no mass production process used in the creation of these wildfowl.
