About
Why this artist matters now
Elijah Pierce (1892–1984) was a 20th-century wood carver. He began carving at a young age using a pocket knife. He first started carving animals because of his prior life of growing up on a farm. Pierce was honored in 1982 with a National Heritage Fellowship for his art and influence in the woodcarving community.
