Ray Villafane's Impact, Part 2

Last year, Ray Villafane's work was also featured in many magazines, newspapers, and other news media online all over the world.

He could be admired carving at the New York Botanical Gardens, the Nicholas Conservatory and Gardens in Rockford, Illinois, and the Sousa’s Gardens in Bermuda, among others.

His extraordinary and unique creations also led to an invitation to demonstrate his talent on the Late Show with David Letterman, and to stun the guests at Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party in Las Vegas.

Although his diverse career keeps him busy, he hasn't forgotten what started it all; carving pumpkins. To share his love for this craft and to help others getting started, he posted a pumpkin-carving tutorial on his website. It contains hints and tips on how to pick the perfect pumpkin and what tools to use.

In the mean time, Ray Villafane partnered with fellow sculptor Andy Bergholtz and together they founded Villafane Studios, where they, along with a team of other amazing carving team members, offer unique carvings for all kinds of events, fairs, classes, and any other occasion.

We will beyond a shadow of a doubt be hearing more about and seeing many works of this artist in the years to come. One thing is for sure; Ray Villafane is an inspiration and an encouragement for continuing to pursue your artistic dreams, skills, and abilities.

He brought them into reality. So can you!
