Ricardo Carll

"Rico"

As a hardwood sculptor, Rico makes one-of-a-kind useable objects of heirloom quality that become an entity with personality. In many of his pieces there are thought provoking elements that give the creation meaning and bring out the aliveness that beautiful wood reminds us of when we are enthralled in nature's beauty.

After graduating from Colorado State University in the College of Forestry, Rico went to work as a wilderness ranger in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains where he developed an artistic eye doing nature photography. Ultimately he became drawn to woodworking and apprenticed with a furniture maker.

Rico's work is shown through galleries in North Idaho and Interior Designers. His signature is engraved on the back of each piece.

"Original and strikingly unique."
"Double as museum pieces."
"Some are so hauntngly lifelike they almost appear real."
