The primary material in my bird carvings is, of course, wood. I favor red cedar because it is naturally weather resistant and that was important for the hunting decoys I started out making. It's also soft and easy to shape, fairly light, and takes glue and paint well. I've split and milled pieces from logs but most often I buy planks at the lumberyard and laminate them to get the size of block I need for a particular piece. Alder is my second choice because it has a consistent density so is easy to carve; I can sometimes find suitable pieces in the wake of the crews that trim under the powerlines around town. Yellow cedar is another rot-resistant wood but it has variable density and is a challenge to carve. All of these are local wood species, which ties into my effort to use resources found in Southeast Alaska. Basswood and tupelo are wonderful for carving but I don't really want to get into using (or shipping) wood from other regions.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Oh, and I use acrylic paints over a primer layer to color my birds; it forms what is essentially a protective layer of plastic around the carving, and then I finish with a layer of paste wax, which lends a nice sheen as well as a bit more protection.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Q. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Where are you from, and does that affect how and what you create?</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">A. I grew up in Rockland County, New York which was rural when I was born and had morphed into a suburb of New York City by the time I left for grad school in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1974. I was vaguely aware of bird decoys but had nothing directly to do with them; I think the main effect is that when I became interested in carving decoys after we moved to Juneau in 1991 I focused initially on the work and styles of prominent historic East Coast decoy makers. I've since learned about and grown to admire the work of early decoy carvers on the West Coast and am still expanding my horizons as I learn about Mississippi Valley carvers.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Q. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">What brought you to working the way you work?</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">A. Once I began learning about decoys it became evident that the best of the old carvings, the ones that showed artistic skill, had been bought up by wealthy art collectors during a craze dating to the mid-'60s, and when pieces became available they were selling at extraordinarily high prices. It struck me as ironic that most of the people who had acquired these birds had little affinity for their original purpose, and unfortunate that those carvings would never be accessible for those interested in how they were intended to be used. Knowing that I'd never be able to own one of the classic originals I decided to make my own to the best of my ability. I also decided to carve my decoys by hand, mostly to see if I could make a decent quality bird in the same way that the old-timers did. This self-imposed rule of using no power tools after bandsawing a rough blank and drilling the eye holes is still my way of doing things in my shop. </span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Q. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Who</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> are your most important artistic influences? </span></span></span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">A. <span style="color: #222222;">First of all, my grandfather</span><span style="color: #222222;">, Hugo Robus (1885 - 1964), a painter and sculptor.

The first is symmetry; it's no good to carve only one side of the bird perfectly - the other side must be carved to match! There have been many times when I've been pleased with how a detail or area on a carving has turned out only to face the challenge that it needs to be mirrored perfectly on the opposite side. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The second big challenge is to represent a soft, fluffy, air-filled surface (i.e., feathers) with a hard material such as wood - there is not a perfect answer, but having the proper contours and colors helps. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Finally, I am pulled between a desire to be free and impressionistic with my carving and painting and a tendency towards realism springing from my career as a wildlife biologist. </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Q. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Does your art help you in other areas of your life?</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">A. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">Being retired, I think it's really valuable to have something to do each day, and in addition to the house-related chores it's good to have work waiting for me in my shop, whether it be carving a bird or maintaining and sharpening tools, etc. It's a great thing to be able to spend time doing something I really enjoy and it's also great that it keeps me occupied.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">Q. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Has your style changed over time? </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">A. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">Yes, in at least two ways. At first, knowing that carving is subtractive and that once material is removed it cannot be replaced, it's difficult to remove enough wood - one is constantly afraid of ruining the piece by lopping off too much. As a result I know that my first Scaup decoy bodies had rather the look of loaves of bread - flat sides with small rounded corners up to a barely rounded back! It takes awhile to develop the confidence needed to remove enough material to reveal the contours of a bird's outer surface, and the birds I carve now are much curve-ier.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Secondly, I've progressed over time from a strict adherence to waterfowl species to a greater variety of other bird families. I began carving decoys because I wanted to hunt waterfowl and didn't really want to buy plastic factory decoys; besides, there was an allure to making and using my own. After carving a puddle duck rig of Mallards and then a sea duck rig of Scoters I realized I didn't need additional hunting decoys but still wanted to carve, so I progressed to 'confidence decoys' such as gulls and herons and then began carving shorebird decoys (solely decorative - hunting of most shorebirds was banned in 1914) and eventually based on requests I've expanded into carving hummingbirds, warblers, kingfishers & Steller's Jays, loons, cormorants, Great Blue Herons and even a few birds of prey.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">However, a consistent theme throughout my work is to craft a piece that is an accurate representation of the form and behavior of a particular bird species without laboring over a photographic level of detail; my carvings spring from a working decoy origin, and working decoys were tools meant to represent birds with 'just enough' detail to make them believable.</span></div></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Q. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">How can we find you and your work online?</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">A. </span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">I have some of my carved birds shown on a Facebook page called</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"> "</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/workingbirdsdecoys" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;" target="_blank"><i>Working Birds Decoys</i></a><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;">After experimenting with selling in a retail setting </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;">I've fallen back to carving birds </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;">on commission only </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;">(people want the bird they want, not the one your've already carved!).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: Dancing Script; font-size: x-large;"><i>Thank you Matthew!</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: medium;">I appreciate all the time and thought you went through for this interview! </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: medium;">Matt and I go into our respective studios </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: medium;">coming out now and then ask each other for advice on this or that, and </span><span style="font-size: large;">I agree that having projects you love to do, and challenge you - are</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: medium;">good for the psyche!

I am a visual artist. I probably discovered my love for the visual arts in elementary school because I still remember the excitement of painting large murals for school plays, and glueing popcorn onto paper to make blooming apricot trees. I explored art in high school and college and earned a teaching degree and a BA in Art. I always used art in my teaching and spent many years working with other like-minded educators to train Alaska teachers on how to incorporate the arts into their classrooms. Now as a retired person I especially enjoy plein air painting and keeping illustrated travel journals.</i> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Cristine Crooks, February 2023, Douglas, Alaska</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Without further ado, as <i>everyone</i> says, here is the interview.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-489a98c3-7fff-7eea-9ea4-4853ed48998f"><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1 - What are the mediums (ie pastel, oil, acrylic, etc) </span></p></span></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-489a98c3-7fff-7eea-9ea4-4853ed48998f"><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">that you work in and love?</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></p></span></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I am basically an eclectic artist. I have tried many mediums and find that I like to use different mediums for different things. When I travel I keep a small journal, so a very small watercolor kit, a mechanical pencil, and a brush with a barrel I can fill with water, works just about anywhere, even on a plane. When I paint outside, if itβs not too wet, I love pastel. Inside in my studio I play around with oil paints; alkyd because Iβm impatient. But I also really love to collect papers and magazine clippings and do collage. And I love crafting handmade books. I have a BS in Art, (craft) which involved a little bit of everything.

Wyeth was an early hero. His work was so full of energy, color and emotion. I love photography and admire the black and white nature images of Ansel Adams. As I studied more art I loved the female artists who persevered against the odds, like Artemisia Gentileschi, Georgia OβKeefe, Mary Cassatt, and Sister Corita/ Corita Kent. And as I started studying a particular medium I discovered art heroes who were trying things that interested me like Wolf Kahn (pastel), Milton Avery (form and simplification) and JoaquΓn Sorolla (sunlight).</span></p><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b4a8296f-7fff-2dbe-e58a-fc9663d7fe76"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>7 - Who are you inspired by currently?</i></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6da7cfe5-7fff-c977-cc7c-7cfea67ff0ce"></span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Actually during the past few years I have needed to kick start my creativity </span></p><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">and found online art classes at <a href="https://winslowartcenter.com/" target="_blank">Winslow Art Center</a> and <a href="https://www.carlasonheim.com/" target="_blank">Carla Sonheim</a></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">have wonderful artists in a variety of media.
