Carver
Randal  Martin

Picture
Since he was old enough to hold a  pencil, Nashvillian Randal Martin has  been an artist. After working as a graphic  designer, watercolorist, oil painter; Martin has found his real passion, carving birds from wood.  His sculpting parallels his love of nature and the  great outdoors. Martin’s love of wildlife and respect for all  God’s creatures, great and small, ensures great detail and  precision in every piece he creates. He practically breathes  life into these wood replicas of some of Mother Nature’s  best work.“I typically have four or five carvings going at  once, and as they come to life, I can’t wait to do another.”
Randal's carvings can also be viewed on the BCO Online site (Bird Carvers Online in the critique section) or his web site:

The first songbird he ever carved won Best of Show and  First Place at the Tennessee Valley Fair in Knoxville, TN  in 2001, and he won the Silver Brush Award at the  Tullahoma, TN Fine Arts Festival. In fact, he’s won ribbons  and awards for every carving he has ever entered in  competition over the years since he focused on wood as  his primary artistic medium. He considers his greatest  honor to date was being selected to carve a bluebird  ornament for the White House Christmas tree for an  ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ seasonal theme. He and  his wife, Zan, were invited to Washington by First Lady  Laura Bush for a special viewing of the nation’s Christmas  tree. He has also entered the Ward World Carving  championship, in Ocean City, Maryland, in 2009  & 2010,  and won a total of fourteen ribbons in competition. His work is sold at the JRB Art Gallery  in Oklahoma City, OK, the Horizon Gallery in Jackson Hole, WY Also at the Cliff Dwellers Gallery in  Gatlinburg, TN. He carved an Ivory Billed  Woodpecker for the IJAMS Nature Center,  in Knoxville, TN and a Red Cockaded  Woodpecker for a Florida Nature Center,  as well as a Hummingbird carving which  was presented to the Vice President of  Nippon Telephone & Telegraph Co.,the  largest corporation in Japan.
