Team AK Department of Snow: Paul Hanis, Patrick Boonstra, Chuck Mazurek. A challenging abstract piece that was intended to push the physical limits of snow’s strength as well as its capabilities of delicacy.

Team AK Department of Snow: Paul Hanis, Patrick Boonstra, Sarah Wallner. Our “levitating” elephant snow sculpture pulled off the illusion of weightlessness using a deep undercutting technique.

My first snow sculpture. I entered this event late, on a whim, as a solo artist with no previous experience or instruction. What better subject matter than the Alaska state flower? It’s crazy to think about the entire career that “blossomed” immediately after this experience. Once my tools touched the frozen water I was hooked! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54868d64e4b013e4b9139a90/3530d081-278a-4f6a-9a98-f0b4382df6d0/abstract-jazz-band-snow-sculpture.jpg Snow Carvings - What Feelings Sound Like 1st Place, 2019 Fur Rondy Alaska State Snow Sculpting Championships, Anchorage, Alaska.

I was approached about this sculpture a full 5 months before it was actually completed and formally presented. The symbolism pertains to the career of a public official in my local community.

This sculpture now lives at the private residence of the individual for which it was dedicated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54868d64e4b013e4b9139a90/c540f970-5535-433c-a90d-fa82b5bfdc6a/bear-wood-carving-commission-for-hire.jpg Commissions - Salmon and Bear Restaurant The local fine dining restaurant in my community of McCarthy, Alaska, approached me about making a sculptural representation of their logo that would be on permanent display in front of their building. The owner was able to source this incredible red cedar log from Prince of Wales island in Southeast Alaska, which made this project the greatest wood carving of my sculpture career so far. It’s in downtown McCarthy for the visiting public to enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54868d64e4b013e4b9139a90/7f15d0f2-3649-41e6-9436-ed1271d16c8b/wood-eagle-totem-carving.jpg Commissions - Eagle Totem This wood carving was commissioned for a private residence in Big Lake, Alaska.

This piece was intended to further the theme of the other sculpture, extending the commemoration of the tree spirits to water and the hydrological cycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54868d64e4b013e4b9139a90/cb0c324a-e560-4815-a4b8-5992e77a5114/wood-spirit-carving-commission-alaska.jpg Commissions - Wood Spirit This wood carving was commissioned to honor the spirits of 3 beloved trees that were lost to a spruce beetle infestation in the backyard of a private residence in Anchorage, Alaska. The consultation phase of this piece settled on an old man with a benevolent grin and the 3 trees above his head. The extra long, flowing beard was added on as the form was being sketched onto the tree. I always try to be as accommodating as possible to requests like this as I fully understand that the artwork will become a permanent part of the client’s every day life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54868d64e4b013e4b9139a90/79e1a83c-16f2-459b-a9cc-5d310625b98a/alaska-wood-carving-commission-tree-spirit.jpg Commissions - Wood Spirit This wood carving was commissioned to honor the spirits of 3 beloved trees that were lost to a spruce beetle infestation in the backyard of a private residence in Anchorage, Alaska.
