Detailed description is Specializing in the art of Intarsia A form of wood inlay, or an inlaid mosaic of wood which probably was derived from the East Asian ivory and wood inlay. This form found its richest expression during the renaissance in Italy (c.1400-1600AD). It was often used as panels over the backs of choir stalls and in the private studies and chapels of princes.. . Today Intarsia is created by selecting different types of wood, using its natural grain patterns and colors (rather than dyes and stains). Each piece of wood is then individually cut, shaped, and sanded before fitting them together like a jig saw puzzle. Sometimes additional pieces of plywood are added to raise areas of the pattern to create more depth. Once together, a final layer of finish is applied and the project is complete. . . After a 36 year career in the gas transmission business, Cliff retired in 1996 and built a winter home in Mesa, Arizona. It was in Mesa that he first saw the art of Intarsia. In 1997 Cliff enrolled in a class of basic intarsia that was being offered in the park and built a ‘dolphin’. He was immediately hooked. Since that time Cliff has devoted countless hours in perfecting the art of Intarsia and has enjoyed the many challenges. Throughout the years he has created many wonderful pieces and continues to enjoy and learn more. His intarsia is displayed in Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Washington, Texas, Ontario, New Brunswick, all the way to Japan. . . Cliff and his wife Agnes sold their place in Arizona in 2002 and moved to Didsbury, Alberta in 2003 where they continue to enjoy their retirement around family and friends. Cliff built himself a wonderful workshop and continues his art of Intarsia.
