Meet Bruce, the visionary artist, and his wife Tammy, the creative force behind our unique creations.

What Tammy has to say about Bruce ~

Meet Bruce, the visionary artist and driving force behind God's Country Art, our cherished chainsaw carving business. Bruce possesses an extraordinary ability to visualize and create art that never ceases to astound me. His unparalleled work ethic is a testament to his dedication to the craft, and I am continually inspired by his talent for crafting truly unique pieces.

Prior to dedicating more time to our art business, Bruce spent a lifetime in law enforcement. The demands of that profession often left little room for him to express his artistic talents. Witnessing the revitalization of his passion and creativity since retirement has been a joy for us both. The challenges of law enforcement can toughen the spirit, and seeing Bruce relax and rekindle his excitement for our joint venture has been incredibly refreshing.

For 36 years, Bruce has been an exceptional husband and father. His commitment to our family has been unwavering, and I couldn't have asked for a better life partner. Beyond his artistic prowess, Bruce boasts a stunningly clean criminal record, adding a touch of humor to his impressive resume.

As we enter this new season of life together, I am thrilled to witness Bruce's meticulous attention to detail and self-described perfectionism manifest in the remarkable works of art he creates. He is not only committed and generous but, above all, my best friend. I look forward to the years ahead, where we will explore breathtaking locations in search of unique wood, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces that bring God's art to life for all to enjoy.

Meet Tammy, the vibrant force behind God's Country Art, our chainsaw carving business. Recently retired and fueled by a passion for the outdoors, Tammy is ready to infuse her energy into our artistic endeavors. With two wonderful kids raised and a fantastic family, we're embarking on this exciting journey together.

Tammy stands head and shoulders above me in the realms of sales, marketing, and business management. After 36 years of marriage, she remains my lifelong adventure partner, and together, we form an unbeatable team. Tammy is not only an accomplished artist but also a powerful motivator, inspiring me to push the boundaries of our artistic creations.

What I adore about Tammy extends beyond her great sense of humor and impeccable cooking skills. Her clean criminal record is a bonus! A hard worker with a love for the outdoors, she shares my passions for traveling, hiking, hunting, and fishing across the Northwest. Tammy embodies kindness and gentleness, coupled with remarkable patience. She is my best friend and true partner in every aspect of life.

In addition to her artistic talents, Tammy brings a wealth of innovative ideas to our business and excels in connecting with our customers. I can't fathom this journey without her by my side. Together, we look forward to carving out new adventures and creating awe-inspiring art for years to come.
