Griffon E. Ramsey (formerly O'Connell;[2] born April 23, 1980) is an American chainsaw carving artist known for her pop-culture wood sculptures which have appeared at the Australian Chainsaw Carving Championships and the Butler Chainsaw Carving Invitational.[3][4][5] Chip Chats magazine described her as a "world-famous" artist with an, "edgy and bold style"[6] while VICE and Uproxx called her a "rock star of the art world" and noted her status as a female in a largely male-dominated field.[7][8]

Several of her YouTube videos have attracted attention online, including her sculpting an Eastern red cedar into Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, which accumulated over 115,000 views in three days.[9] As of October 2023, her channel has over 4 million video views and 68,000 subscribers.[10]
