The process of bringing sculpture and nature together in an outdoor setting is dreamwork for most sculptors, myself included. "Above Timberline" was originally commissioned by Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. My studio was located there at the time, and I had experienced the animal often west of town in the wild in Poudre Canyon. 

The over-lifesized monumental sculpture was designed to be mounted on a metal frame and installed with dry-stacked rock and site-specific landscaping. Elevating the sculpture on a berm enhances the visual impact.
