7” H Bronze Edition 100 $960.00 The
bison once blanketed the prairies of the American West.
Nearly hunted to extinction, they were a vital part of the
ecosystem. Their herds were accompanied by wolf packs and tribes of
Native Americans, which depended upon the bison for their very
survival.
This particular piece represents the grizzled veteran of many
hardships.
Primitive, yet sophisticated, is how I describe the feeling of
this sculpture.
Your mind can envision the spirit of the regal bison arising
from the flow of the molten bronze.
This particular piece captures both the inherent beauty of the
bronze, and the vision of the ancient spirits of the bison standing
over the panorama of the Great American West. |

"The Challenge" 12" H Bronze Edition 100 $960.00
The
elk is one of the most magnificent animals in the American West.
The fall brings on the mating season, also known as the rut.
It is fascinating to watch the males jockeying for dominance;
all the while, the females seemingly ignore them.
However it is a time of intense drama and importance to the
survival and the successful evolution of the herd.
Primal is how I like to describe the feeling of this sculpture.
Your mind can envision the huge bull elk challenging all
comers.
This piece captures both the feeling of power, and the mystery
of an important ritual of the elk. |

6" H Bronze Edition 100 $960.00
The
grizzly was once the pinnacle predator of the American West.
One even chased Meriwether Lewis into the Missouri River on
their journey West.
As man developed more sophisticated weapons, the grizzly became
the hunted instead of the hunter, and nearly became extinct.
The advancing hordes of people have pushed him to his limits,
but thanks to modern protections, he is “Standing his Ground” in
isolated pockets of the American West.
Pre-Columbian is how I like to describe the feeling of this
sculpture. Art before the arrival of white man allows your mind to
envision the spirit of the grizzly arising from the molten bronze.
This particular patina captures both the inherent beauty of the
bronze, and the mystery of the ancient spirits of the bear. |

11" h X10 l X 5" w Bronze Edition 100 $960.00 A moose on the move is an incredible scene. Often they appear ungainly and awkward, but they can be both graceful and swift of foot. They are usually docile and ignore humans, but if provoked, they have been known to turn and demolish a car. As with most wild critters, it’s best to give them a wide berth.
This sculpture is the fifth in my pre-Columbian series.
Primitive, yet sophisticated, is how I describe this series of
sculpture.
Your mind can envision the spirit of the regal moose arising
from the flow of the molten bronze.
This particular piece captures both the inherent beauty of the
bronze, and the vision of the ancient spirits of the moose moving
through the marshes of America.

15" h X 17 l X 7 w Bronze Edition 35 $4,000.00
The bison once blanketed the prairies of the American West.
Nearly hunted to extinction, they were a vital part of the
ecosystem. Their herds were accompanied by wolf packs and tribes of
Native Americans, which depended upon the bison for their very
survival.
This particular piece laments the period in our history shortly
after the “taming” of the West.
Primitive, yet sophisticated, is how I describe the feeling of
this sculpture.
Your mind can envision the spirit of the regal bison arising
from the flow of the molten bronze.
This particular piece captures both the inherent beauty of the
bronze and the spirit of the surviving bison standing over the
panorama of the Great American West. T |

22" h X 20 l X 8 w Bronze Edition 25 $4,000.00
There
is probably not a more majestic animal in North America than the elk.
The mature bull in all his masterful glory is the master of his
domain.
The patina on this bronze is designed to look as handsome and
as rugged as the elk itself.
This sculpture is finished in a dark brownish black oxidation
with subtle green weathering.
