William
J. Schnute was born in 1942 in Ann Arbor, Michigan but raised in Chicago. He
started carving at the age of 7. Although he received a B.S. degree in General
Science and began a career in cell biology research, his passion for wood sculpture
developed into a full time endeavor in 1974.
After the publication of his book High Relief Wood Carving and the inclusion of his work in other fine publications, Schnute has become internationally known for his innovative designs.
He has worked with respected architects and interior designers to develop feature pieces for private residence, corporate structures and churches nationwide.
He is a member of the Society of Animal Artists, the Carmel Art Association and the Worldwide Nature Artists Group.
His studio and home are in Wilton, New Hampshire.
