An Antique Store Treasure

Created from visual inspirations of antique woodwork and the natural landscape of the Idaho, foothills, this work blends together the beauty of Chinese Landscapes with the rustic wood carpentry of the Northwest. Similar to the historical Chinese immigrants of the 1860's that were able to cultivate the desert mountain landscape of Idaho City, this wood carving pays respects to the forgotten territory called the Chinese Gardens, now known as the major roadway into Garden City, Boise, "Chinden Boulevard."
