| Gary Fiedler Scrimshaw Artist - Horner |
Doing scrimshaw on a powder horn was not the first
work of art that Gary has done. In fact it wasn't until
Gary got interested in muzzleloading and going to
rendezvous that he decided to take his artistic skill to
a powder horn. Gary's artistic talent started when he
was in school. His pencil drawings emerged into
pen & ink drawings, then colored pencil drawings, to
acrylic paintings and then, in 1976, Gary tried his
first powder horn. He had looked at other
scrimshaw artists work and thought he could do just
as good of a job as they had done. So he transfered
his talent from flat work to the powder horn. That
was the beginning of a journey that has made Gary
one of the most sought after scrimshaw artists in the
country. His scrimshaw work has appeared in
Muzzle Blasts magazine and several of his horns are
now on display in museums. For those who have
had the opportunity to have Gary do work for them,
it is definitely art that you have to see to believe and
a work of art that will be cherished for many years.
Gary lives with his wife Penny along with two dogs
and a cat, just outside of Prairie Du Rocher, Illinois.
After retirement, Gary will have even more time to
devote to an art that is one of a kind.
