"Colorado Artist J Christopher White Wins Again"

FIRST PLACE in 2009 World Class Sculpting Competition

Loveland artist and wood sculptor J Christopher White recently returned from Ocean City, Maryland after being awarded first place in the 39^th Annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition, the largest bird carving competition in the world. The artist’s wood sculpture “Family Circle” captured first place in the top category, world class division, for interpretive wood sculpture.

The sculpture, depicting five barn swallows in flight, was carved from West Texas juniper and mounted on a mesquite base. Both of these woods are harvested by the artist in the canyon lands of West Texas and the age of the wood often measures in the millennia. The 18" deep, 18" wide and 34” high sculpture will be on display for one year at the Ward Museum – Salisbury University in Salisbury Maryland. The museum boasts of having the most extensive collection of carved birds in the world.

This is the artists second first place award at this show. In 2006 he won with his sculpture, "Midstream Reflection", a Hooded Merganser Duck
