Elmer Gunderson 2008
Hippocampus Mythological Seahorse
Professional Category Elmer was born and raised in Prince George, BC. He works with many of the local woods such as cottonwood, fir, spruce, cedar, as well as exotic woods using both human figures and wildlife for his subjects.
Faces, human and animal, young and old, have always fascinated Elmer. There is so much in a face: the life one has led, or the possibilities of a life yet to come. He strives with each carving to capture not only the personalities but their experiences of life as well.
The greatest gift carving has given him is in some small way to inspire others to experience nature on an intimate level. He hopes it touches you as it moves himself. It is his addiction to create fine art from the products of our natural forests.
Elmer's work ranges from small bark carvings for gifts to larger sculptures for private and corporate collections. His pieces can be found in gardens to galleries, from Canada to Europe and Asia.
You can view this carving at Frank James Park.
