The appreciation of creation's beauty has been the inspiration for Reg
Parsons. Growing up in western Canada, his school notebook margins were filled
with sketches of wildlife and horses.
The desire to recreate wildlife took him
into the art of taxidermy, laying the foundation for his work in bronze. For
many years he sculpted mannequins, and reproduced them for the purpose of
taxidermy. The spring of 1997 brought with it a new challenge
to sculpt wildlife, to be cast in bronze. His understanding of nature,
and the anatomy of wildlife, are evident in the life that he captures,
in each sculpture.
Subjects such
as the Golden Eagle, North American wildlife, the Western Rodeo Series, the
Lab Puppy Series, the impressionist Series of Creation,
and his whimsical pieces that bring a smile, demonstrate
the versatility of this award winning artist. His work is original,
and appealing to a wide range of art lovers. It can be found in corporate
and private collections around the world and is displayed in fine art
galleries throughout western Canada and the United States.
Reg Parsons
currently lives in Cranbrook, situated in the Rocky
Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. The demand for his sculptures
leaves little time for his love of painting, for which he has also received
numerous awards. With unlimited talent as a self taught artist, he looks
forward to his next work as being his best. Be it a notebook, a canvas,
or a lump of clay, he demands excellence in everything he puts his hand
to, and gives credit to God as the source of his giftedness.
