About the Maker/Artist/Creator:
Ken Kirby (shown in 18th photo)
While on a vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1983, Ken visited a decoy shop and was fascinated by the wildfowl carvings on display.
He purchased a rough blank for a decoy to try his hand at carving and painting. He was already an experienced woodworker who had made most of the furniture in his home. With this first decoy, his carving career began.
He began selling his birds in decoy shops on the Outer Banks and then expanded to shops in Maryland and New Jersey, later in Maine. Ken Kirby Decoy Classics was born. In his early years, he discovered a special fascination with old classic decoys made by famous carvers.
He has won many ribbons for his duck and shorebird carvings...
