Heffy's Gallery in Florence, OR is renowned for its exceptional woodcarving sculptures that showcase realistic wildlife. With over 40 years of experience, artist Dan Heffron's attention to detail is unparalleled, as he meticulously carves each piece from a single piece of wood, using all-natural materials for coloring and never resorting to paints, stains, or glass eyes. His unique creations, often inspired by the aquatic wildlife of the Oregon central coast, are a testament to his skill and passion for his craft.
Heffy's dedication to his art is evident in his self-made tools, which allow him to achieve the painstaking details that define his work. His preference for hunting burls of driftwood washed up on local beaches adds an element of surprise, as he never knows what kind of wood he will find. With a commitment to never staining his carvings, Heffy instead polishes the colors out of them or burns them in using his extensive collection of specialized carving tools. Visitors can admire and purchase his one-of-a-kind creations at various galleries and shops, including Mindpower Gallery in Reedsport and Waterlily Studio in Florence.
