Roger Dumont

Born: 1937

Roger Dumont. Sculptor. St. Arsene, Quebec. Active late 20th century -.

Roger Dumont makes sculptures of birds, largely imaginary carvings of hens, roosters, ducks and geese, to name a few, as well as people . He worked with ‘as found’ wood; driftwood, roots of trees and other wood parts found in the forests around Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec. He at one time worked with his partner, Celine Denis who would color the birds. Most carvings are signed R. or Roger Dumont but I have seen works with both names. Roger Dumont has created many marvelous impressionistic and colorful carvings.

Two works by Roger Dumont:

Roger Dumont. Two Birds.
