Featuring Artist:\u00a0<\/span>Shane Christensen<\/h1>\n

Shane Christensen is a wood-carver and sculptor, based at Eumundi, who takes inspiration from his environment and nature.<\/h2>\n

Bundaberg raised wood sculptor Shane Christensen will carve a turtle in memory of Bundaberg’s Arthur ‘Nobby’ Clark at the Bundaberg Woodworkers Guild, on October 18-19.
\nAt 38 years old he is fairly young for the stereotypical woodworker but the love he found more than twenty years ago, when he lived in Bundaberg, is something he would never lose.<\/p>\n

His mentor was Bundaberg’s late Arthur Nobby Clark, who past away in March and was best known for his Denizens of the Deep.<\/h2>\n

“A friend of the family introduced me to Arthur Nobby Clark, to help inspire my creative nature, and learn some carving techniques,” he said. “Most of the sculptures I saw Arthur working on at the time, where of a marine life theme, his sea turtle was the most outstanding piece for me, I’ve always loved turtles.”
\nA couple years ago, Christensen travelled to New Caledonia to participate in a sculpture festival, with various carvers from all over the pacific.<\/p>\n

A master carver from Vanuatu taught him different techniques of carving, including traditional markings of sea turtles.<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1550185643286{padding-top: 35px !important;}”]\n
