Milling, Marla Hardee

Abstract:

Milling discusses the circuitous path that eventually led woodcarver Dennis Ruane and his wife to settle in downtown Waynesville. Ruane earned degrees from the universities of West Virginia and Wisconsin and was working on his doctorate when he decided to pursue his love of carving. He had never taken an art class before. He lived in Pennsylvania and Maryland before friends recommended that he explore the artistic happenings in western North Carolina. The family came to North Carolina in 1999, and in 2000, opened Hardwood Gallery in Waynesville.
