Jean-Claude Labrecque. Sculptor. Vallee-Jonction, Quebec. Active late 20th century.
A talented wood carver and sculptor. He carves both wild and domestic birds and animals. And people in their situations. His sculptures are done in Pine and are always painted with acrylic colors. Except for some early work (Birds especially); all of his work is signed on the base and dated and sometimes numbered.
