Gene Westerberg
Gene 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.
