Description

By the Sea Mini-“Great Blue Heron”

All the carvings are hand carved, original, one-of-a-kind woodwork created by Larry and Linda Gonzales.

“When we moved to Washington, Larry took up relief carving, and Linda helped design the piece and color it. We create our carvings from nature found in the marine world of the Olympic Peninsula.

Our pieces capture moments in time in a way that brings an infusion of the Strait of Juan de Fuca into the home. We work together to interpret the scenes wanting to embody the wood slabs. It’s an intuitive process with a scene oftentimes changing throughout the process. Each sculpture is designed out of one piece of wood and is one of a kind.

We prefer local woods that grow here in the Pacific Northwest such as: red and yellow cedar, birch, maple, alder and madrone.

Frequently found on a daily beach walk, we leave ourselves open for inspiration to strike from the natural world.”

“The Pacific Northwest has endless inspiration.”
