Murray Eisnor. Sculptor. Woodcarver. Martins River, Nova Scotia. Active 1970’s – 2010.
Murray Eisnor came from a family of several generations of artists and woodcarvers. He was an impressionist and made carvings of fish and birds as well as snakes when he found the right shape of tree root in the forest around his home.
His work was always painted in bright, usually ‘as found’, primary colours and he was particularly fond of Polka Dots. Mr. Eisnor carved in Spruce and Pine and painted in ‘as found’ colours; usually glossy house paint.
