Kent Ullberg Wildlife Sculptor


Kent Ullberg is a resident of my town, Loveland, Colorado. A native of Sweden, Ullberg is a top flight wildlife sculptor.

Ullberg's beautiful works combine the realism of wildlife and abstract shapes inspired by natural forms.

"Canyon Watch" is a lifesized portrait of male cougar. I love how the big cat has his haunches on a large tree stump while his lower feel rest on a lower root. The circular pattern that is created is as beautiful as the animal itself. One of the edition of 20 has been recently been dedicated in Los Alamos's North Mesa area.

The theme of circles and wildlife continues with Ullberg's piece, "Ring of Bright Water" which features two playful otters and the solo otter in "Laid Back II"
