"Keltoi" during their (the Celts) migration into Europe.  The Celts also refer to themselves as Gaels or Britons.  

I have named the site and my work Dealbhaich because it is the Gaelic word that comes closest to describing the process by which I make my work. From the rough stages of sketching to the chipping way of an elaborate design.  The word actually has many meanings, including to conceive, imagine, create, design, compose, or to elaborate.  The English word "creativity" touches part of the meaning.

Enter the Gallery to see my work and please check back often as I frequently add new works.  For more information on my experience, background, and Celtic Traditions check out the About the Artist page.

Celtic artwork has gained immense popularity of late, but please note that each of my pieces is a one-of-a-kind original (not to be found in the Book of Kells!).  As large a part of each project as the carving itself, is the creation of the design with reference to our ancient traditions.  Most of the work is for sale and I invite commissioned work.  If you have something in mind, please contact me!
