Barnardsville, NC
Chad Rendel is an ambassador for the spirit of the trees with which he works. He’s an American wood sculptor born in 1981, who lives in Asheville, NC. He draws his inspiration from the ancient mountains that surround him and works to uncover the essence of each tree he works with. He is a self taught artist that is pioneering a process of carving, steam bending, and then carving again. He unfolds each piece, highlighting the unique potential that hides inside with an alchemy of fire, steam, carving. Chad was the recipient of a 2022 artist support grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. He is a lifelong artist that explores the themes of balance and beauty while working to demonstrate our collective potential through the pieces he creates.
