Different national and international functions
Retirement
Artistic development during studies and professional time
Wood carving as a leisure time occupation
Carving of miniatures (cherry-, apricot-, peach-, and olive stones)
Carving and sculpturing as relaxation during phases of major projects
Sculpturing develops into a creative counterpart to management and planning
responsibilities. For many years, the switching between work at home for the
job and sculpturing becomes a source of creativity for both activities.
