Derek Richards
 
has been carving working decoy ducks and wildfowl in the
traditional American style since the late eighties.
Having discovered one of America’s unique folk art forms while
living in the USA, he subsequently studied and worked with
one of America’s leading contemporary carvers, Mark McNair
in Virginia. Using only traditional carving tools, Atlantic White
Cedar and oil paints, his birds have a very individual style and
have become highly collectable.
