Handcrafted expressions of wildlife, cast in lasting bronze.

Whether it’s capturing the motion of a running wolf or the almost human-like expression of a lazy rabbit waking from a nap, my work has evolved to a whole new level through sculpture.
Mark Dziewior
I’ve always felt a strong connection to animals. It’s that intrigue that drives my creativity. Growing up in rural Wisconsin, I’ve been able to observe and study wildlife my whole life. Each sculpture has a personal story connected to my unique experiences with each creature ranging from simple observation to direct interaction.
As a child, I read stories of animals that had human characteristics. Stories like The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Wind in the Willows, and many Thornton W. Burgess’ Mother Westwing books. Not only do I observe animals but people as well. If you look closely at my work, there is a small element of human emotion/expression in each piece.

The Process
Mold. Cast. Create.
When creating my animal sculptures, I start with a clay model. From that original, a rubber mold is made. Through the lost wax process, the bronze is cast. I weld, grind, and add patina chemicals to finish each sculpture.
