Colorado Wildlife Sculptor Kent Ullberg Receives Award

This is the third time the talentedwildlife sculptor, Kent Ullberg, of Loveland, Colorado is highlighted in my blog!

On August 26 of this year, I mentioned that he was a participant in a wildlife exhibition at the The Wildlife Experience natural history and wildlife art museum in Parker, Colorado.

Back in September last year I wrote of this sculptor's ability to combine abstract elements and realism to create his uniquely wonderful sculptures.

This time, the sculptor who lives in our beautiful, yet land-locked, state is being honored by Mystic Seaport, the "museum of America and the sea", located in Mystic, Connecticut. The museum has bestowed upon this native of Sweden the 30th annual International Marine Art Exhibition Award of Excellence...this isn't the first time for Ullberg to receive the award--it is his 4th.

This year's award is for his stainless-steel sculpture of a kingfisher that stands 20 inches tall. Click the link to view this magnificent seabird, entitled, "Halcyon."
