Madaleen “Maddy” Pulsifer/Kloeber

Born to create wood sculptures, clay models, bronzes, oil and watercolor paintings Maddy has proudly shared her amazing skills with her students in a workshop setting for over 20 years and continues to do so. Perhaps what sets her apart is the pride she takes in the successes and recognition her students have enjoyed over the years by way of the countless awards including many best of show, people’s choice and blue ribbons they have won. It is no wonder she is acclaimed by her peers as one of the top instructors in the country.

She now has two videos guiding you through carving a donkey and an elephant on www.woodcarvingacademy.com with more to come. You can also find many other projects with great teachers on this website.

Maddy has been featured on the cover of “National Woodcarvers Association” magazine “Chip Chats” three times and her award winning carvings have graced its pages for many years. Among her most notable commissions is the Cheetah she created for the late Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty of Gunsmoke fame) and the now famous “Pegasus”, the mythical winged steed.

In 1997 Maddy was selected “Artist of the Year” by the Arizona Woodcarvers Association and was featured at the Annual Show in 1998. In 2001 she was selected “Artist of the Year” by Grand Canyon Woodcarver Association and was featured at the Phoenix Civic Center’s Plaza Show.
