Allan Schwindt has been intrigued with Art and Wildlife for more years than he cares to remember. Soon after he began drawing he was introduced to whittling by his dad. Since then, (about age 5) he has never been without his pocket knife and he feels that this early exposure to whittling was the key to his learning to see things in 3-D. So, it is not surprising to see his development in the art world as a sculptor.
