Webmaster's note:  Dean Browne passed away in Columbus, Ohio on Friday, August 20, 2004.

Dean Browne has been a woodcarver for over 40 years. The subjects of his carvings are drawn from his many years as a yachtsman and a lifetime of hunting and fishing.

His carvings range from all  types of wading birds to giant whales to small brook trout. Browne is a member of the super-realist school. His works are wood sculptures that use the character of the wood and pigments to express the essence of his subjects.

In recent years he has offered a unique kind of trophy for the catch and release fishermen. Using measurements, descriptions, and if possible photos, he custom carves and paints a life size replica of each catch. Dean has sold carvings in over 35 states, Europe, and the Far East and produces approximately 100 pieces each year, all signed and numbered.

Commissioned orders for most any subject welcomed.

The work of Dean Browne is steadily gaining recognition and popularity.

Be certain that you don't miss a chance to see his beautiful work whenever and wherever it is shown.

Dean Browne's experiences as a U.S. Naval Officer and subsequent years as captain of his ocean going sailboat, have given him the rare opportunity to observe many creatures of the sea and shore in their natural habitats.

Dean's life experiences as an outdoorsman , hunter, fisherman, and conservationist also contribute to his artistic feel and personal style reflected in many of his sculptured subjects.
