About the Artwork

The Hockinson School District selected local Hockinson wood carver Al Uskoski to create 'Mountain Scene.' Carved wood frames this landscape, which celebrates Washington's forests and mountains. The artist worked as a logger for many years before dedicating himself to woodcarving.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Hockinson School District.
