Terry has been carving in these traditions for over forty years,working independently with great respect and care.Avoiding the vagaries of trends and fashions of the day,he instead has sought a classical foundation while moving forward into the future.
“Without a firm grasp and understanding of the purpose of “Traditions”,it is easy to bend and dishonor the Arts and Cultural Aspects”
“With high standards of both cultural values and craftmanship, people gain sight of shared community.”
