Alexander Grabovetskiy was born in the Russian town of Dimitrovgrad. His grandfather taught him basic wood carving techniques at six-years old, and at 16 he was taken on as an apprentice by renowned carver Vladimir Tokarev. In 1996, he immigrated to the United States together with his wife Nadia and their 10-month-old son. Alex was recognized as the 2012 International Wood Carver of The Year, and his piece – Wall Decoration, was awarded first place. His work utilizes the same approaches used for centuries by master wood carvers, including techniques employed by Grinling Gibbons. In 2015 Alexander Grabovetskiy was Editors’ Choice to be Awarded with Woodworking Excellence in category: Turnings, Carvings & Objets d’Art, by Popular Woodworking Magazine.
