Peacock Books & Wildlife Art is closed today, Wednesday, June 28, 2023, and possibly tomorrow too, due to a fire in the Galleria at University Square mall.

The fire happened at  Chester's Restaurant earlier today. Several stores are affected. The fire, smoke, and sprinklers missed our store, praising Jesus!  Please pray for all of the store owners. 

If you had an order to pickup call us at: (888) 983-3085.

Peacock Books & Wildlife Art is honored to present the gorgeous, detailed wood carvings by Richard Southard, owner of Impressions in Wood. The beautiful details in his art include hand carved eyes, finely detailed feathers on the wings of geese, chickadees, and his breathtaking hummingbirds in flight, feeding, or flying — he captures their spirit and joy of life of God’s creatures.

One must sit in the wild for hours, and likely, on many trips to observe what Richard captures in the bird behavior exhibited in his exquisite wood carvings.

Stop by and see for yourself the beauty of Richard’s carved wildlife scenes, little moments of life, captured and preserved for display in any room you would like to add a breathe of new flight, either as a hanging ornament or mounted on carved grapevine, aromatic cedar base.
