Here are some close-ups of my two chasing eastern chipmunks. Although the sculpture is already sold, I created an extra, animated “Chippy” for anyone who is interested in a custom commission. Please message me for details. This composition is quite large in order to fill my client’s window sill space. More photos to come. Thanks for following me and have a beautiful day!

I found a photo showing my finished gyrfalcon sculpture getting filmed at The Southeast Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, S.C.. SEWE is the largest juried wildlife art exhibition in the world with artists exhibiting from all over the country and abroad. I’ve exhibited there for 20 years in a row now, except this year because of Covid. I miss seeing my friends but look forward to seeing everyone in 2022! Have a great weekend! . . . #gyrfalcon #falconsculpture #sewe #wildlifeexpo #wildlifeartists #wildlifeart #wildlifeartexhibition #charlestonart #artexhibition #wildlifeartistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5OZMPjV7G/?igshid=1jitsuwgqzmrd

“Peace During The Pandemic” -as seen at the current show “Three Billion” at The Hudgens Center for Arts and Learning. I created this installation to show the peace and interconnectedness of nature during a time of great stress. My entire family caught COVID-19; and my father was hospitalized for over a week. Nature has a way of bringing peace and healing the soul though. While taking care of family members, I also bought bird food so that all of us could enjoy bird watching. Although the virus has caused people sickness, loss of loved ones, financial hardship, or simply having their world turned upside down, the simple pleasures of enjoying birds, other wildlife, and nature should not be taken for granted.

Here’s one of my favorite works now in a collector’s home (almost all my work I’ve shown so far is sold). The movement, colors, detail, and anatomical accuracy all came together in this original.

Here is the finished memorial sculpture honoring those who have served, attended, and passed away at Kennesaw State University. It was an honor to receive the commission having earned a Bachelor of Arts degree there as well as, after grad school, been a professor of art there for 7 years.

Eastern bluebirds love my backyard; so I’ve created a lot of sculptures of them. I positioned this female in wood on flowering showy rattlebox, which I fabricated out of metal and wood. www.wilsonwildlifesculpture.com #bluebird, #birdsculpture, #showyrattlebox, #woodworking, #woodsculpture, #woodcarving, #realism, #easternbluebird #wildlifesculpture, #wilsonwildlifesculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHHffmpPZB/?igshid=1ip6dfrbh18d7

I used wood and silver-soldered metal to create this ruby-throated hummingbird. The bird’s feet and bill are metal too. www.wilsonwildlifesculpture.com #hummingbirdart, #cuteart, #realism, #birdsculpture, #woodcarving, #birdart, #rubythroatedhummingbird, #instaart, #boldbrush, #hummingbird, #originalart, #birdcarving, #Georgiaartist, #wilsonwildlifesculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3qhGsJe0L/?igshid=1ljt81ln18aku

“Dancing on Water” -Tupelo wood, Georgia Etowah marble, oil. Having witnessed these egrets actively moving and spreading their wings over shallow water to be able to locate their prey (canopy feeding), I created this original sculpture with an impressionistic base. www.wilsonwildlifesculpture.com #birdsculpture, #mixedmedia, #originalart, #egret, #realism, #Georgiamarble, #mixedmediaart, #woodandstone, #woodcarving, #contemporaryart, #birdart, #whitephasedreddishegret, #artofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtUM-cJSa4/?igshid=1lvbsnngw9ylq

Carved in wood, this is a detail of my life-size sculpture of a white-phased reddish egret. It took over 6 months to create and has a carved stone base, which I’ll show in my next photo. www.wilsonwildlifesculpture.com #carvedwood, #egret, #birdsculpture, #woodcarving, #wildlifesculpture, #birdart, #Georgiaartist, #originalart, #wildlifeart, #wildlifeartwork, #realisticart, #woodsculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CDq0IGDJI_H/?igshid=17gkor59d9j8l

The indigo bunting is common in woodland borders throughout the eastern half of the U.S. You can see here how my base design has become more informal over the years. www.wilsonwildlifesculpture.com #indigobunting, #realisticart, #birdsculpture, #originalart, #wildlifesculpture, #wilsonwildlifesculpture, #bunting https://www.instagram.com/p/CDge_iTppLM/?igshid=1kju5o6d0o1fr

I carved this pair of emerging barn swallows out of cottonwood bark. I was honored that a well known artist collected my sculpture.

“Taking Flight” is a new work that I started in March and just finished. Working full-time as a wildlife artist, I work hard to capture the anatomy, details, and character of my subject matter. Also, I strive for my work to have aesthetic appeal and presence. My client was so happy with this original that I received a very nice tip, which means a lot right now.

I received inspiration for “Family” while watching California quail chicks follow their parents around the atrium of The Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
