ARTIST

Prior to his artistic pursuits, Naugler worked as a highway laborer, owned a small automobile body shop, and displayed impressive welding skills, which he later incorporated into his sculptures. His artistic prowess extends beyond carving, as he is also a talented painter. His vibrant and quirky creations capture the essence of Maritime life, reflecting his zest for life and sense of humor. Naugler's work has left a mark in the world of Canadian folk art, earning him a place in prestigious collections, including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and The Museum of Civilization.
