Marty Linton Decoys

Marty Linton Decoys Marty is originally from a small island on the bayside of the Eastern Shore of Virginia

called Saxis.

Water-fowling has not always been a tradition but a way of life for this

small community of islanders. Marty is no exception; he keeps the tradition alive by

producing beautiful wildfowl art. Marty began his carving career at the age of 12 with Gerald Moore of Saxis Island. He

continued through high school working with other carvers. Marty really began to take

carving serious in 2005 when

he started working with Chincoteague carver Arthur

Leonard on gunning birds. Over the past couple of years, Marty took an interest in antique decoys. In 2010, he

entered the Lem and Steve Ward World Championship contemporary antique class for

the first time and won 1st place in his category. In the same year, he won 2nd Best in

Show in Havre de Grace, Md. Again in 2011, he entered the World Championship and

won second place in the antique class with an antique goose and Best in Show at Havre

de Grace with a shell duck drake. Marty’s birds are inspired by many different locations and carvers. His most recent

master piece, a shell duck drake, was inspired by Long Island and Chincoteague styles. Marty said his love for making antique decoys was inspired by master carver, Cameron

McIntyre.
