Stanley Boyd. Sculptor. Woodcarver. Morin Heights, Quebec. Active 1930’s.
Stanley Boyd made flat-plane carvings of Quebec figures in the Saint-Jean-Port-Joli tradition. He often signed his work ‘S. Boyd, Morin Heights’ in pencil with no date. The bases were applied with small nails in the manner of C.J.Trygg and my understanding is that he learned to carve from Carl-Johan Trygg in St. Sauveur, Quebec. Signed examples are shown below.
Stanley Boyd also made painted relief carvings of Laurentian scenes – usually in winter time.
