Henry Boudreau. Sculptor. Wood carver. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Active late 20th century.
Henry Boudreau lived and worked on Janvrin’s Island off Cape Breton. He made wonderful and very detailed carvings of people in his community (and all communities) in their daily lives and the things they get up to. He used mixed media and his figures were usually clothed in costumes sewn by the artist.They were always painted (by his wife ‘Geevee’) and usually signed. His works are delightful and fascinating.
