Linda Eva Abraham<\/strong> is a Hungarian-born woodcarver whose work bridges ancient myth, nature, and spiritual symbolism. Through her creative space, Bardo Garden<\/em>, she transforms wood into intricate carvings that re-imagine Buddhist iconography while also evoking legends, sacred symbols, and magical archetypes from across cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted in traditional Hungarian woodcarving and inspired by her studies in Tibetan Buddhism, Linda\u2019s art carries both ritual depth and folkloric wonder. Her long-held dream took shape when, under the guidance of Andy Weber, she began studying Buddhist art\u2014allowing her passion for Buddhist iconography to finally merge with her refined woodcarving skills. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Through her project Winged_Woods<\/em>, Linda shares not only her artwork but also the traditional oral stories behind them\u2014bringing carved dreams, mythic creatures, and sacred symbols to life in wood. Her creations are rich with personal symbolism: combs that turn into forests, spoons that echo the Sky-high Tree, and snakes that whisper of transformation and unseen realms. Linda works primarily with locally sourced Tasmanian timbers such as myrtle beech, huon pine, musk, and bog-wood, and she also uses fruitwoods like almond, cherry, and plum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geshe Tenzin Zopa said about Linda’s Buddhist carvings: \u201cLinda\u2019s artwork is unique in its beauty and in the level of its details. The beauty of her artwork is twofold: it shows the natural beauty of the Tasmanian timber and above that it bears the beauty and perfection of the holy image of Buddha. To see them, touch them or have them is of great benefit<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linda lives in Taroona, Tasmania, with her husband and two children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
