Todd Warner PIG HOG Farm Animal Art Bell Sculpture Hand Signed FOLK ART CERAMIC

Very nice pre owned condition. No chips, or cracks. Todd Warner's (1945-2022)love for animals was sparked in his childhood in rural, central Michigan. Spending much time in the woods, Todd made friends with the groundhogs, chipmunks and owls, communicating and connecting with them on many levels. A love of sketching led Todd to study art over veterinary medicine at Central Michigan University. Following a brief career teaching art, he decided to devote his efforts to the design and creation of his sculptures. In 1981, Todd moved to South Florida where the sun, the climate, the wildlife, and the diversity of peoples provided new inspiration for his work. Here, Todd Warner's signature sculptures were born: flattened, elongated figures, with truly distinctive personalities. Internationally recognized for his irresistible animal sculptures, Todd Warner captures with vision and insight the essence of animals, preserving not only the animals of nature but also the nature of animals. His ability to connect with his subject matter enables him to recreate them in minute detail, breathing life and personality into each of his pieces.
