Exclusive Products in the Treasure Chest - by Corey Boon
Corey Boon is an accomplished artist and Wood Sculptor and has located his new carving studio at the Bumblebee Bed and Breakfast. A multi-disciplined artist using various media, Corey's artistic development would take a dramatic shift in 1991 while studying with World Champion Wildfowl Master-Carver Robert Ptashnik.
Corey’s knowledge of birds and carving skills were soon recognized as he competed with his wildfowl carvings at national competitions to win numerous awards. Corey’s wildlife sculptures are permanent and collectable works of art that are creative in design and beautifully detailed.
These true life-like wood sculptures of the birds add interest and value to many private and corporate art collections.
