Creativity and the spirit of nature go hand in hand, exemplified by the wonderful birds that exist in our world. This is why I choose to depict avian subjects in most of my art work.
As a resident of Toms River, New Jersey I am afforded the opportunity to experience inspiration from many species along the shore and in the Pinelands areas, both resident and migratory. You’ll often find me, coffee cup, camera and sketchbook in hand, on an early morning along the meadows or beaches. I also gather influences from my days as the co-caretaker of 12 – 14 parrots who never ceased to amaze me with their intelligence, humor and beauty.
All of my wildlife art is dedicated to that wild and crazy flock.
Description: Long-billed Curlew preening. Antique style features an iron tine bill created from an antique hay fork. Each curlew is uniquely fashioned from Jersey or Maine white cedar and painted in artist oils then aged to perfection. Curlew can be standing or nesting (a most popular pose!) on a piece of carefully selected driftwood or cedar to compliment the decoy. $200 plus tax, shipping & handling. Please allow 1 month for shipment at this time.
Antique-style fish $75 + S&H. This award-winning antique-style fish has been distressed and aged with artist's oils and is mounted on a piece of fine driftwood. It received "Honorable Mention" at the Toms River (NJ) Art & Decoy Show in January 2008. A perfect addition to your lakeside cabin or beach cottage.
We welcome Nancee Jo Lucinia to Decoysales web Page.
More of her carvings and pictures of her work will be posted soon.
Check soon to see her carvings and contact her for any orders.
Red Knot Flattie (Silhouette) $35 + S&H. The red knot is a declining species and efforts to save them from extinction have been underway for several years. New Jersey Dept of Environmental Protection is in the forefront of these efforts with monitoring migration. A couple of years ago decoys by local Jersey Shore carvers were used in the netting process. I'm lucky enough to know all the carvers involved and this flattie is patterned after one that was used in South America at that time. Painted in artist's oils.
