CHAPTER
ROUND TABLE &
STORY NIGHT
Everyone is invited to participate. Come and share a birding adventure, picture, poem or just something you learned about the birds. There is always a good snack available. The is a free program, open to all.
Matthew DiBernardo, former Cosmetic Director of Revlon, began bird carving as a hobby in 1984, winning awards in his very first competition in 1985. Within three years he had designed a decoy collection for The Avon Collectibles Catalog. He then completed a Master Birding course offered by the Cooperative Extension in cooperation with The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. This knowledge enabled him to ”breathe” life into his carvings.
Matthew then turned a hobby into a career and in past years has won top awards in the U.S. National Decoy Show in New Jersey, and the Connecticut, California and Ohio Decoy Shows. From blocks of wood, his handmade work comes to life in the form of shorebirds, ducks, songbirds, birds of prey and more recently ranging from fish, horses, bears and safari animals. With each new piece his vision continues to evolve. Mathew’s work has found homes with collectors around the world. Time has not dimmed his enthusiasm as Matthew is always excitedly planning his next project.
