Peggy Detmers, Wildlife Bronzes
Peggy grew
up among the expansive grasslands and
productive marshes of the eastern half of South Dakota.
Awestruck by massive waterfowl
migrations and bountiful wildlife, Peggy was inspired to become a
student of nature. From
horseback or afoot she would watch and draw domestic and wild
animals alike. She continued
her natural studies at South Dakota State University at
Brookings where she earned a
Bachelor of Science in wildlife & fisheries and general
biology.
Even though her degree was in the sciences, Peggy
never lost interest in
the arts. She took a sabbatical from her biology career to study
with professional
sculptors and painters in the southwestern United States. She
believes that an
apprenticeship under a master was then and still is the best
learning experience for a
fledgling artist. She also studied bronze casting by working at
foundries in California
and Arizona.
Though
Peggy specializes in
sculpture, she is also known for her paintings and drawings.
