William H. Turner and David H. Turner, father and son, share a talent of capturing the beauty and motion of wildlife in bronze. Their native land, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a peninsula surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, is rich in wildlife and is a continuous source of inspiration for their work.

Established in 1983, Turner Sculpture serves as their studios, foundry and gallery. To date they have created more than 700 different limited edition bronzes and more than 100 large public commissions found throughout the United States.

Good estate condition; some minor underside felt wear.
