Finding His Passion
Treat said the discovery came during a trip to his wife’s native Thailand, where artisans make horses out of teak.
“When I got home, I decided I was going to try and make something. I made a little triceratops,” he said. “Within hours, people were pulling over, knocking on my door, asking me questions, wanting to buy it. And then someone called me an artist, and I haven’t been able to stop since.”
