          About the artist - Elkhart, Indiana Willi Holzshuh - Yugoslavian born, as a teenager in 1930's he studied at art school in Vienna or Düsseldorf. Mr. Holzshuh learned all art forms, but his favorite was wood carving. WWII came when he was forcibly drafted into the German army, served as German tank commander on German/Russian front. Next captured at the Battle of Stalingrad, put into Russian prison camp. Part of his survival was whittling whatever scraps he could find, trading his little art carvings with Russian guards for food. He escaped prison, walked across Russia to a refugee camp where other members of his family were and met his future wife Maria. Willi continued artistic carvings, that caught the eye of an American general from Texas who bought his carvings and connected him to people in the U.S. who could be legal immigration sponsors. By boat this couple, Willi & Maria arrived in New York Harbor February 14, 1956, what a love story. "The Heeters" in Elkhart were this couple's sponsors. Willi's life career was a highly skilled machine engineer, tool & die man. Locally, for many years he won art awards with the The Four Arts Club. He privately sold his detailed wood carvings, reportedly some pieces fetching $45,000. each.  His surviving widow Maria, lived to the vibrant age of 92 in their one and only family home along St. Joe River.

          Their home provides a unique opportunity for you to view, inspect and buy Holzshuh's carvings that truly belong in a museum.
