Ohrmann Museum & Gallery

    Bill Ohrmann started creating wood carvings as a boy, making his toy animals out of apple box panels.  He advanced to 3-D figures in a primitive, blocky style, then to more elaborate multi-figure pieces.  For many years, wood carvings were what he was well known for in the art world.  While still operating the cattle ranch, he found time to make several hundred carvings between the mid 60's and the early 90's.  Many were relatively simple wildlife figures, whose sales helped thru the leaner ranch years.  His passion, though, was the multi-figure pieces which illustrated such concepts as the Twelve Moons, The Four Winds, and the Deities.
