Tiffany Puza,

South Berwick, Maine

“I named this 8" by 11" (20.3cm by

27.9cm) piece

Elevation and Relief,

which

references the changes on a topographical

map,” Tiffany said. “There is a heaviness and

weightlessness to this wood burning—

a blend between mountains and water,

caught above and beneath.” Tiffany recently

resigned from her job to launch a small art

and design business, which partners with

non-profits to increase global harmony.

Dave Keele,

Ozarks, Mo.

Dave, who calls himself the Rose Carver, will be

the first to tell you that transforming wood into

flowers is harder than it looks. “On each rose,

I have to carve end grain to form the petals. I

use a knife to do this...it really tests your ability

to put a sharp edge on your tools!” he said. Find

Andrei Gotia,

Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Andrei has been chip carving for seven years. This

design, he said, was inspired by “a cross from a prayer

book, which I adapted, giving it a circular center and

a frame.” At the suggestion of his instructor, Wayne

Barton, he added the botanical motif, “which matches

the cross very well, representing it as the Tree of Life.” He

carved this 10" by 10" (25.4cm by 25.4cm) ornamental

piece out of basswood.
