Roger Smith Wildlife Art, Bronzes
Image:
Nothing flamboyant or outrageous about this artist! Roger Smith, a
common name for an uncomplicated, down-to-earth kind of guy. Raised on a
small farm in southern Michigan, he always loved the outdoors. Roger
has dreamed of being a wildlife artist as long as he can remember. The
spark started as a youngster and flickered during his high school years. Once you view a Roger Smith sculpture you know he is a man who knows his
subject. Roger’s training in taxidermy and taxidermy manikin sculpture
is evident in his work. His knowledge of anatomy and his love for his
subject adds a magical quality that brings his sculpture to life.
Imagine a fawn nestled in the grass waiting for mama’s return. All the
mechanics are there, the detailed representation of the subject, line,
form and proportion. Yet there is something else; a hint of life, a
spark that transforms cold bronze into a warm, nearly living creature.
