Hello, my name is Anna Basca and I am a wood carver and furniture restorer. I come from St Peresburg, Russia, where I studied restoration and the art of carving. Now, since 2015, I live and work in Nicosia, Cyprus.
If you would like to know more about my work, have a look here.
Most of my work so far is wood carving, but sometimes I have been doing some furniture restoration and stone carving.
One of my favourite pieces of work is this icon frame:
And here are some details of the frame:
I also carve small objects. Here are a few examples:

I also worked on a big sculpture project together with English sculptor Andrew Tanser. The sculpture project was of a head of a Green Man and was completed in UK:
Apart from wood, I have some experience in stone carving as you can see from the Celtic knot and letters carved in stone below:

Another example is the restoration of these saracen heads:

And another example of restoration work is this mirror frame below where I carved some of the parts that got broken and went missing in time:
