Bald Eagle | Bronze

Inspired by the resident eagles that grace the shores of Flathead Lake, this bronze sculpture embodies the watchful spirit of the "Dayton Guardian." Their presence at the marina, a blend of wildness and quiet majesty, compelled me to capture their iconic form.

Here, the focus is on the eagle's penetrating gaze and the sculpted details that convey both power and resilience. Every feather and curve of the beak is rendered to evoke the bird's inherent strength. The bronze, finished with a nuanced patina, gives a timeless weight to this symbol of freedom and wilderness. It's a personal reflection on the profound connection found in nature.
