Thomas Langan was born in 1942. He is a self-taught artist; his first carvings were decoys, known as gunning birds and his style was influenced by the functional design of early American decoys.
Tom began carving full time at age 35 when his subjects grew to include domestic, farm and forest animals; trade signs; whirligigs, salt water fish and weather vanes. Most pieces are life size or larger.
Tom's Whistling Swan is in the permanent collection of the Museum of American Folk Ar (showing 500 of 794 characters). |
