Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on February 11, 1949)

Happy Birthday Ondrej Mares—the legendary creator whose artworks age far better than the rest of us! From your iconic Kachina pieces that gracefully defy conventions, to your groundbreaking work 'Stem Cells,' you've consistently inspired us with your originality and timeless humor. Clearly, crafting furniture isn't just a profession; in your hands, it’s practically wizardry.

Here's wishing you more joyful leaps between Czech tradition and Australian charm, bold creativity, endless inspiration—and maybe fewer splinters along the way. Cheers to another year filled with innovative brilliance and great laughs; keep sculpting our hearts (and living rooms) one masterpiece at a time!
