Arts Fest artist of note
Wes Seeley, Comox eagle craftsman, will be at Arts Fest 2015, with his signature eagle carvings. He will have on hand, his 8 foot eagle, which is 90% complete. His 10 foot eagle is currently hanging in Whistler.
Each feather is individually hand crafted and placed on the eagle one by one, to give the appearance of the wind moving through the feathers and wings.
Only locally sourced materials are used in the carvings. Red & yellow cedar, aromatic cedar, and Douglas fir are the woods primarily used in Seeley’s works.
“My goal is to replicate, through my carvings, the beauty that nature has created in these magnificent birds,” Seeley says.
Take this rare opportunity to come see Seeley and his amazing artwork first hand.
