Riffs: Chad Townson, local artist – on meeting a long-admired artist

“I met Kelly Guidry at the Three Rivers Art Festival in Pittsburgh a few years ago. I saw his woodcarvings, and the next day, I went to Home Depot and bought a chisel and a drill. I fell in love with it. I went to work with him in Breaux Bridge one day, and he taught me everything I know about woodcarving.”
