| Shane's father had been a nationally-known carver who had died a few years before their move home. It was natural for Shane to share a love for collecting and selling antiques just as his father had. Shane fell into that business for a while and began to create carvings to pass the time between customers. His wife returned to school and achieved a life-long dream to become a nurse while Shane became a full-time artist. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Detail from "Flying Pig" (7910)
| “I guess I found what I was meant to do. My work is flavored with my love of Early American antiques and my life really. I write on many pieces about my life, hopes, dreams, rants as well as raves about the people I know. I have found a way of living my life through my art.” | |||

| Plagued by severe arthritis called ankylosing-spondylosis, he was bedridden for a time but now with a new medication and with his creative juices flowing, he is able to walk again. “I keep a positive attitude and have learned the secret of life is enjoying the passing of time. “ He first started writing on his art when he was frustrated about a situation and impulsively began writing all over one of his works of art. | |
