The joy and beauty of the Christmas season is reflected in this stunning Intarsia design by noted artist Kathy Wise. "Intarsia" is a mosaic of wood that is fitted and glued into a wooden support, and was a popular decoration in 15th century Italy.

Kathy Wise has been sculpting dogs and animals professionally for more than 25 years. Much of her time is now spent in the woodshop and art studio working on new and exciting designs for intarsia artists to cut and enjoy.
