Hello, I am Jeffrey Aikens, a wood carver from Pennsylvania. I have been carving since the early 80s, which helps me keep my sanity after working on computers all day. I have my BFA from Wilkes University and work professionally as an Art Director. I try and put my own spin on my carvings keeping things whimsical and a little quirky. I use a lot of basswood from PA, but it sometimes has imperfections and is darker with more grain than typical white basswood. I try to incorporate the imperfections into pieces and not avoid them.
