Laguna native grown Kaj Garmshausen has been carving since he was a kid, but only recently decided it might actually prove a source of income.  On Sunday, Nov. 18th, he’s doing his first artistic show as he’s joining forces with fellow Laguna artist Alexandra Neptune from 3 -7 p.m. at the Neptune School of Wine at 3315 Hyland Ave, Costa Mesa.

This event will feature at least 12 pieces, including one I saw emerging from a giant block of wood just a month ago. A self-taught artist, Kaj says he favors California native woods and his pieces reveal his love of the California coast as many carvings are simply derived from driftwood he finds in various pockets up and down California.
