Artists Description Of Carving
The Buckskin clad pioneer is carrying a wooden bucket, he has come to get water. After walking all day this is the only water hole he can find for miles. He sees two deer standing by a stream with grass and shrubbery on the creek banks. He is hiding behind a dead tree watching the deer drink, he is reminded that nature takes care of all creatures on this earth and we all share the same existence no matter what species, color or race.
Born in a valley that time forgot deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Steven Roper began carving at four years old with a pocket knife given to him by his uncle. Steven was raised on a farm in Sparta, NC he also spent allot of his time on the Cherokee Indian Reservation being 1/4 Indian. He was taken in by a family named Walkenstick and stayed with them until he turned 18. As a late teenager he traveled to most fifty states including Canada and Mexico. After traveling the world and developing his carving talents Steven was discovered by a furniture company where he hand carved designs into custom pieces of furniture. The company Steven was working for saw the great talents he pocessed and furthered his training by paying for him to train under a European Master Carver. After 15,000 hours of rigours training Steven was granted status as Master Hand Carver by his European trainer. With his 300 chisels and a master carving bench he creates masterpieces such as this one. With his dedication to his carvings and such a great understanding of life Steven Roper is a great asset to the art world.
