ETSY HAS A VIDEO ABOUT ME & MY WORK...
http://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/handmade-portraits-jason-tennant-9788/
Primarily I carve wooden masks and motifs of native plants and animals. I only use domestic woods, most of which I have collected myself.
My intent with these works is to express a certain gesture or characteristic that I have experienced or envisioned. These works are a celebration of nature's resilience to human stresses and are my interpetation of the essence of wildness.

The main source for my inspiration is a secluded cabin off the grid, with a mile and a half long access easement in the Finger Lake region of New York State. This where I immerse myself.
