Mythic Art
Hand Carved
In Wood
Custom mythical creatures brought to life through relief carving.
Transform your vision into a three-dimensional masterpiece. From ancient dragons to legendary beasts, I meticulously hand-carve every detail to capture the spirit of the mythical world in natural wood. Let’s create a one-of-a-kind legacy piece for your home or office.
Handcrafted Art from the Blue Ridge Mountains
I'm Taking Custom Orders
I'm opening up a few spots for custom relief carvings and woodburning projects. Whether you're thinking of a detailed animal design or a peaceful forest mandala, I'd love to work together to create a piece that really means something to you.
Crafting Legacy from the Heart of the Blue Ridge
The Artist’s Journey
Living and working in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I have always felt that art should be more than a decoration. It should be something that grounds you. My forest mandalas bring together the steady symmetry of traditional patterns with the wild, unpredictable textures of the wood itself. I create these pieces to turn a simple stroll through the trees into a more thoughtful and intentional experience.
Mountain-Grown Creativity
Inspired by Nature
Living in the Blue Ridge Mountains provides an endless gallery of inspiration. Whether I am walking through the woods or watching local wildlife, the textures of the forest find their way into every piece I carve.
Precision in Every Stroke
The Artistic Process
I specialize in relief carving and pyrography, using traditional tools to pull three-dimensional stories out of flat wood. Each project is a meticulous balance of technical skill and creative vision.
Working with the Wood, Not Against It
Finding Beauty in Imperfection
At Jacq’s Wood Art, I am not interested in factory-perfect circles or uniform finishes. My work is a back-and-forth between my ideas and the history of the tree itself. I lean into the knots and the uneven grain because those details make the piece real. Each mandala is different and serves as a unique tribute to the Virginia forests where I find my inspiration.

Mythic Gallery
From the intricate, perspective-bending geometry of Escher-inspired dragons to the fluid, organic details of the leafy sea dragon, these pieces represent the pinnacle of my relief carving. Each creation is a meticulous balance of imagination and technical skill, designed to pull a story directly out of the natural wood grain. Browse these past commissions to find inspiration for your own custom mythical masterpiece.
I’ll help you turn your vision into a unique piece of art that lasts.
