Earl Senchuk
For fifty years, self-taught multi-media artist and serial inventor Earl Senchuk has judged, juried, and exhibited in art shows in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. His highest artistic achievement was winning the 2011 Project of the Year Award in a global art competition sponsored by the World of Concrete Trade Show in Las Vegas for a yellow rose fountain. His art mediums include clay, welded metals, watercolor, wire, fiber, concrete, and living foliage.
In his realm of inventing over the past twenty years, Earl has focused mainly on products that address the consequences of climate change. Some of these include the Boomer Bloomer mini greenhouse that extends the growing season to 9 months from the typical 3 months; the SnowSnakeTM, a patented snow removal device that operates at the roof line and undercuts any ice layers that form on top of the snow; and the Solar Vortex Generator a means to create alternative energy using man-made wind. One of his current products, the DIY Window Insert KitTM, cuts energy costs for heating or cooling a home by 30 to 50%. The Crown FireTentTM eliminates concern over a rained-out camping trip.
Earl designed and manufactured 25 outdoor-related recreational products for Senco, Inc. (Senchuk Company) in ten years. His products were sold directly to consumers, mass merchandisers, and catalog companies. Earl holds five patents, with other patents currently pending.
