Cameron McIntyre
One of the most gifted modern decoy carvers in America, Cameron McIntyre avoids the spotlight, preferring solitary wanderings through wetlands so he can continue to observe and pay tribute to nature's wonders by recording and interpreting them in his carvings and paintings.
Cameron's lifelong passion for old decoys combined with 20 years experience as one of the country's top decoy restorers has enabled him to work on and study some of the world's finest decoys by such makers as Nathan Cobb, Lee Dudley, Elmer Crowell, the Caines brothers, William Bowman, John Blair, the Ward brothers and countless others.
This invaluable experience has given him a special insight into the construction and painting techniques of the "old masters" of decoys. Cameron has incorporated this knowledge of methods and materials along with his own personal feeling for sculptural form, color, and patina to create his unique modern "classics", but crafted completely with hand tools.
