CAVIN RICHIE
Born
in 1950 in Ft. Collins Colorado , Cavin grew up in the Rocky Mountains. His
love for wildlife was a natural reflection of his surroundings, a passion that
has endured & fueled his desire to carve. Fleeing the sun of the desert
he found the ocean in Washington State in 1970 and has lived near the salt water
ever since.
Cavin’s main interest is natural history and his designs reflect this passion.
Birds, mammals, and amphibians are well represented in his line of bronze castings.
His castings are very accurate, detailed miniature bronze sculptures that can
be worn. As someone once said,“Affordable
portable bronzes”.
The originals for Cavin’s lost wax castings were first carved in shed elk
antler or wooly mammoth ivory. Cavin has been carving in these mediums for the
last 25 years as a production carver, creating original wildlife jewelry for
galleries in the Northwest and Alaska. His many years of devoted study both
in field and office has made him quite adept at creating realistic poses of
wildlife.
