Abstract:

Ernestine Hassell retired from nursing after thirty years working as a nurse at the Tyrrell County Health Department. She soon found that she had a natural talent for wood carving which she has been doing for the past decade. Among her carvings are wood spirits, village-style people, Christmas ornaments, and Santa Clauses she creates from driftwood and cypress knees found washed up along the Albemarle Sound shoreline. Hassell does all the painting for her wood crafts.
