Welcome…to my new and improved web-site! My desire, in designing this site, was to create a fast and easy way for my guests and customers to view the entire spectrum of my latest decoy carvings, as soon as they are created. Explore, enjoy and thank you for visiting my site.
For those of you who are visiting for the first time, may I take a moment to introduce myself? In 1969, I became interested in decoy carving while pursuing my first passion of duck hunting on the Sangamon River in Illinois. I quickly became infatuated with the art and realized I possessed a talent for carving and painting waterfowl. After many years of study, practice, trial and error and successful competitions, I decided it was time to turn my obsessive hobby into a career. In 1978, I became a full-time professional carver and have never looked back.
For 48 years I have been blessed with being able to make a living doing what I love. This love for waterfowl, other birds and nature is evident in each and every piece. As a result, my work has been collected by foreign dignitaries, movie personalities, and art collectors from around the world.
Hand-selected bass, juniper, and Northern Maine cedar is used to create the lifelike carvings. Each is then personally hand-painted. My specialty is in the area custom hand-painted decoys in oils and acrylic textures. My collecting customers particularly value my painting style. As one collector stated, “It can be detected from across the arena.”
If you are not familiar with my decoy sculptures and your first contact with me is online: I would be delighted to hear from you. Please let me know what your needs and questions are, I will be more than happy to help. Prices will gladly be quoted via email, phone or mail quotes only. Commissions accepted with signed contract and deposit. You can reach me at 919-219-3545 or contact me at my e-mail address: ben@benheinemann.com
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you again for your interest.
