“Animals have personalities that make me smile, and that is what I try to convey through my work”, says Tim Cherry of his wildlife sculptures. A job as an outfitting guide in British Columbia, the Yukon and Northwest territories, when he was still a teenager, provided him close contact with moose, bear and other animals that he now sculpts. To further explore his interest in wildlife, he studied animal anatomy with a taxidermist whose own sculpture inspired Cherry to try his hand.
As a sculptor of animals, both influenced more by art nouveau than strict realism, which is evident in the abstract shapes of his playful, stylized works. His sculptures’ smooth finishes lend themselves to a variety of patinas, adding interest and individuality to his creatures.
