Garret Wendlandt has been a professional carver for over 15 years and enjoys making custom, quality sculptures for others either off-site or on-site. He has always been interested in how art can give nature voice and story and since 2010 his art tool of choice has been a chainsaw, among other power tools. Garret enjoys carving in wood, stone, ice, and snow. He seeks to work with clients to create sculptures that bring special meaning and/or simple enjoyment to their environment. He was born and raised on a small farm in Door County, WI where he learned to appreciate the life and nature around him.

Garret currently lives in the town of Oasis in Wisconsin with his wife and partner, Jessi Wendlandt, who is both an academic advisor at UW-Stevens Point and works alongside Garret on the finish work, bringing color and protection to the carvings. As a team, they both use their gifts and passion to bring their artwork to life.
