A carpenter and boat builder Terrance Fortune now carves full time and is also a caregiver. His work is imaginative and very unpredictable. He works with ‘as found’ materials and uses bright primary colours.
The artist when talking about his work has said: “I am stunned that what I do can give others pleasure. When I work on my piece I leave all the distractions buzzing in my head and totally enter into the moment – it is a meditative state”.
