Bob Chivers. Sculptor. Port Mouton, Nova Scotia. Active mid to end of 20th century.
Bob Chivers was a sculptor, bird watcher and folk artist. He was active in promoting the Lunenburg Folk Art Festival; often buying works at the Festival auctions and donating them to museums. He made many painted carvings; mainly of the birds of Nova Scotia but other areas as well. An afternoon with Bob Chivers, over tea, and talk of birds, art and his experiences with both, was never forgotten.
