Glen has been carving decorative waterfowl for over 25 years. He spends between 200 to 300 hours carving and painting each bird with intricate detail to achieve life-like accuracy.
As visual reference for his work, Glen uses photographs of each species in its natural habitat as well as taxidermy specimens. Through the relationship he has built with the ornithology department at Yale University, he borrows a specimen from the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale for each bird he carves.
You can view Glen's past work in the Gallery, or experience a visual transformation of block to finished bird in Demos.
