About the Item

This vibrant carved wood sculpture by Al Czerepak (1928-1986) features a charming and rustic design of a bird surrounded by colorful flowers and a butterfly. The textured carving style adds depth and dimension, while the bold, earthy colors evoke a sense of folk art tradition. Al Czerepak was a prominent figure in the Cape Ann, Massachusetts, art scene, known for his skill in woodcarving and design. A student of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Czerepak later settled in Rockport, where he became a key part of the area's vibrant artistic community. His work, including intricate carvings and sculptures, reflects a deep connection to the natural world and Cape Ann's rich cultural heritage. The region’s scenic landscapes and its long-standing tradition of supporting artists heavily influenced his creations, which remain celebrated for their craftsmanship and expressive charm. Signed on bottom. 16" from the lowest point, 19" from the highest point x 8" w
