Steve Armstrong, a native of Kentucky born in 1945, has been making automata since the 1990s. Steve’s work is based in the human figure and realism, though he simplifies his forms. His preferred material is yellow poplar, a local, easily available wood that he likes for its buttery carving qualities and ability to hold incredible detail.
