Earnest Hand, born November 9, 1948, has been adding significant contributions to the world of art for over three decades.  Born and raised in small Florida rural town called Wewahitchka, Earnest began his art phenomenon with pencils, oil paints, and clay, to presently what is known as “Visions in Wood”.

Many of the subjects; turtles, fish, cranes, alligators, people, seem to be one with the wood; agreeing with their habitat and surroundings.  The artist has an awe-inspiring gift to produce and translate his visions to exceptional wood elements in a most exquisite manner.

Earnest Hand’s recognitions and awards range from Kids’ Choice, The Judges’ Award, 1^st Place, to his proudest to date, Best of Show in the Greater Gulf Coast Arts festival in Pensacola, FL.

This artist continues to use his ability to further education, provide charity, and stability to geographical realms and society in its entirety.  There are various places that feature his “Visions in Wood”.  Locally, you can capture a glimpse of his involvement from the innovative Wewahitchka Public Library, the Wewahitchka High School, to The Wood Sculpture Gallery of Wewahitchka, Fl.
