Fruit Carving began as a hobby to relieve stress from PTSD. It became a journey into self reflection and discovery. "My first mistake of carving too deep led to learning my first technique of placing a finger on the carving knife to guage the depth of the cuts.
Life teaches us through our mistakes. Once we realize that, it changes the way we react to failure or errors."
Carl carved fruit for the reception of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in 2009.
Join The Fruit Carver for a creative journey and learn the art of fruit sculpture. These classes are designed for both beginners and advanced artists.

Carl's original fruit characters are always a hit. Almost as fun as his crazy duck voice.
