Top 3 Quotes & Sayings by Stephen Huneck

Stephen Huneck was an American wood carving artist, furniture maker, painter, and author. Most of his later artwork is composed of carvings of dogs. Huneck credited the change in his artwork to his dogs coming into the hospital and bringing him out of a long coma. The coma was caused by him falling down the stairs of his barn studio and hitting his head. He had to learn to read, walk and write again and changed the focus of his work to dogs...which Steve noted is "God" spelled backwards. Prior to this, a lot of Huneck's work was devoted to social commentary. In addition to carvings, Huneck also wrote several children's books, the main character of which was his black Labrador Retriever, Sally. Huneck was originally from Sudbury, Massachusetts.
