Carver of the Month

Renowned Carvers

Paul J Doherty 
Wildlife Artist
Native to Long Island, New York, Paul’s earliest memories include duck hunting and clamming on the East End with his Grandfather. No wonder he enjoys portraying nature in his carving and painting. His carving career began on a holiday visit to Stuart, Florida in 1981, and has filled his leisure hours with success after success. No stranger to competition, Paul coached college lacrosse for 22 years, winning two NCAA championships in four appearances in the title game. In 1982, he was the NCAA Division I Coach of the Year. This competitive spirit has carried over into his art where his carvings of birds have garnered over 150 ribbons, including numerous “Best in Show” awards at regional shows, the National, North American, and World Championships. In recent years, Paul’s art has expanded to include flat painting of wildlife. His paintings hang in private collections from coast to coast, England, France, Belgium, Switzerland, New Zealand, as well as select American galleries. Commissions are accepted for original carvings and paintings.
