Welcome
to this carver's site which is offered for your interest and enjoyment.
The work shown here represents most of the pieces produced in leisure
hours over the past 40 years. It is fortunate that the artist's late
wife, Virginia, had a flair for photography. For it is her pictures
that are mostly shown in this retrospective. If she had film when the
piece was completed, she took a picture, otherwise there was no record
of that carving.
Art Waldie was self-taught, a situation which probably produced a distinctive
approach to some of his pieces. At first his interests lay with wildlife
and human activities. But in the last 15 years of his productive life
he was mostly occupied with heraldic projects, particularly those with
a Scottish connection.
Art has done no carving since 2000.
