Gene Westerberg grew up in a family of Swedish  wood carvers, and started whittling with a pocket knife
at an early age.  He is a graduate of Northern Il. University and taught high school shop and art, together
with special education until retirement.  He also taught bird carving to adults in continuing education classes
starting in 1988  to the present. His inspiration comes from nature: first hand study of dozens of species. He
has observed in Brown County, at home in Sandwich and whenever his travels take him.  He has won
numerous awards at shows and art fairs, and his work has been purchases by collectors in several
countries as well as all over the U.S  He now exhibits and sells through the Brown County Craft Gallery
and in the DeKalb Gallery as well as my studio at home.
