Introducing
Michael Maiden's American Eagles Series
|
An appreciation for nature is central to the perfection of Michael Maiden's American Eagle sculpture series. Michael Maiden's American Eagles imbue grandeur. He has so completely put the eagle before us, we can't help but recognize their prominence in our natural world. The sculptures are infused with Maiden's abundant knowledge and artistic skills. They speak directly to the forces of nature and the art which shape them, displaying for our aesthetic appreciation an existence far more significant than routine survival.
Each work is cast in solid bronze, faithful in design, form and intricate detail to its original wax model. Mike has enhanced the finish of his works by selectively applying color-rich patinas in distinct contrast to highly polished metal surfaces.
Mike grew up on a ranch in southeastern Washington, with the land that inspired his art. The light and dimension of its vast landscapes, the evolving palette of the seasons, and the wildlife that ushered each one in and out provided the first models for his clay and sketch pad. Mike continued his education at Central Washington State University and earned his Bachelor's Degree in fine art and education.
