Adam McNamara is a self-taught wood sculptor who's known for his innovative approach to wood carving, drawing inspiration from the natural world and modern design elements. He is able to create realistic detail in his pieces, accurately reflecting local ecosystems and the hidden treasures found within them.

Adam was inspired to explore wood carving only a few years ago, when a neighbour gifted him a piece of wood. He pushes boundaries in his creative journey, with each art piece serving as an opportunity to discover new techniques and practices that contribute to the evolution of his wood art.

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Adam about what sparked his creative passion for wood sculpting, how nature provides continual inspiration, the collaboration he’s working on with fellow artist and friend of the podcast Phillip Bailey (hear from him on episode #77), and his commitment to sustainability in his work.
