Hollywood Juniper wood, natural edge bowl by master wood carver/turner, Ray Ford.

Ray is a local Venice Treasure, mostly self-taught, and has been making award-winning art in his Venice studio for over 60 years. He is a prolific artist and at age 87- can be found daily, covered in sawdust with carving tool in hand.

As Ray put it: "To me art is beauty. I form each piece with love and patience, and it is my hope that peace and tranquility will be felt by the viewer."
