Artist Statement:
I am a Deputy Sheriff by
profession and have been a Law
Enforcement Officer since
1995. The art of Scrimshaw
has always intrigued me. I
was first introduced to it
firsthand several years ago at
a museum in Charleston, S.C.
There were several pieces of
Scrimshaw on display that were
created by Sailors in the
1800’s. These pieces were
simple but beautiful in their
own way. I think what made
them so beautiful is the fact
that they were created by
everyday, ordinary men who in
their spare time created these
works of art. As I looked at
these pieces I began to ponder
about these “ordinary men”,
about their lives, about their
hardships. This made me think
to myself “What am I going to
leave behind? How will people
remember me?” These ordinary
men who created these works of
art left a little something of
themselves in each piece and I
wanted to do the same! I
wanted to create something
that would be around long
after I am gone.
In January of 2006 I
began learning the art, I read
everything that I could find
on the subject. Finally
through trial and error found
my style...
