Mixed media refers to an intricate blend of fine metals and finishes, including lost wax bronze, fine pewter, brass, copper, and 24-karat gold vermeil. To enhance the sculpture’s aesthetic, artists apply a range of patinas such as black nickel, rose copper, and turquoise, achieved through precision torching techniques. This masterful combination imbues each piece with exceptional texture, color, and depth. About Kitty Cantrell Award-winning artist and devoted environmentalist Kitty Cantrell is celebrated for her breathtaking sculptures of North American wildlife. With an unmatched ability to capture the spirit and raw essence of animals untouched by human hands, Cantrell’s works often feature wolves, eagles, and humpback whales. A native Californian, Kitty has an extraordinary talent for portraying the authentic characteristics of the creatures she sculpts. Her creative process begins with a general concept, evolving into meticulous research to ensure anatomical precision. She pays close attention to the smallest details, from the span of a wing to the curve of a tail, ensuring the utmost authenticity. Kitty’s process involves shaping a preliminary sculpture from soft clay to evaluate form and composition. This is followed by crafting a master sculpture with refined details and anatomical accuracy. Once complete, the final design is sent to the Legends/Genesis foundry in Los Angeles, California, where a resin cast is created, and the production process begins. In line with her passion for wildlife conservation, Kitty Cantrell donates a portion of the proceeds from her art to organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Grounded Eagle Foundation, demonstrating her enduring commitment to preserving the natural world. Happy to answer any questions you might have. This piece would be an amazing addition to anyone’s home in a variety of different settings such as a striking office piece or masterpiece on the mantel. The Spirit Song sculpture is a beautiful piece of art that will hold its value for generations to come.
