Back in January I started a carving class at UNM-Taos. This is my first piece, a Nicolai Fechin inspired design. I got the idea from a door panel he carved, as documented in the book ‘Fechin: The Builder”. Fechin was a Russian born artist who moved to Taos in the 1930’s. Primarily known for his paintings, Fechin was a pretty talented designer, builder, and carver.
