Driftwood sculpture by Debra Bernier
She actually uses clay,molds & paints to make the scuptures that are then attached & blended onto the driftwood itself to look like they are all one piece,..so many people seem to think she carves the sculpture from the driftwood which is false...she is a very cleaver artist with paints but is not a actual wood carver,..you can see this if you look at some of her works up close you can see the clay division from the wood..
