Des McKenna O.A.M – Woodcarver & Sculptor
31 July 1930 – 26 December 2016
Des was a gifted sculptor and devoted family man who
worked tirelessly in his community. He brought joy to many who saw and experienced his beautiful
work. He is sadly missed. Since 1986 he produced numerous sculptural pieces ranging from major
public commissions located in China, Japan, the Melbourne Museum, Melbourne City Square and Koorie
Heritage Cultural Centre to beautiful gift size pieces that many have purchased and cherished.
