Northeastern Nevada Featured Artist<br />

John McEntire<br />

CARVED NEVADA WONDERSTONE<br />

Elko County Art Club Cooperative | 407 Railroad Street, Elko, NV | 775-753-8170<br />

John’s unique style of carving Nevada Wonderstone has developed<br />

throughout his life, and many years lived in Nevada. He credits his<br />

appreciation of Western Heritage to the hours he spent watching early<br />

Westerns on Television. He was fascinated by all cowboys, horses, and<br />

anything with a Western storyline. He began to whittle wooden cowboy<br />

figures, even before he was ten years old. His appreciation of ranching<br />

and farming communities, the tales of hardworking people and their<br />

lifestyles working with horses and livestock, shaped his impressions<br />

of the genre. John brings first-hand knowledge and love of Western<br />

Culture into his every work.<br />

Discover carved Nevada Wonderstone at the Taber Building Gallery,<br />

open Tuesday thru Saturday 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.<br />
