A distant and unknown region, the extreme limit of the travel and discovery. Dall sheep may be the iconic species of one of the greatest wilderness regions left on earth. The Wrangell-St. Elias, Glacier Bay, and Kluane National Parks along with the Tatshanshini-Alsek Provincial Park combine to cover over twenty-four million acres. The largest protected continuous wilderness area in the world. It is a land of enormous mountains, icefields, and grinding glaciers; falling off to tremendous river valleys, tundra, and boreal forests.
During the summer the many of the older rams will push to the very upper limits of plant life, right to the threshold where nothing exists but ice, rocks, and everlasting winter. It requires great stamina and desire to traverse these areas with heavy back pack and ice ax in hand. To witness these animals in their habitat is to feel the ominous power of nature at work. From the creek and groan of the glacier that you have pitched your tiny tent on to the almost constant fall of rock and ice. It is a land that is literally changing right before your eyes.

From an early age, Tim Shinabarger developed an obsession with wildlife and wild places. Following in the footsteps of such pathfinders as Carl Rungius and Belmore Brown, Shinabarger makes regular pilgrimages into the wilderness to gather ideas for new works. In order to convey the essence of his elusive subjects, he says it is necessary to put himself in a position to directly observe them in the wild.
Tim Shinabarger is too modest, too soft spoken to ever put together a biography for his own web page, so as a writer who has penned several magazine stories about his work over the years, allow me to provide an introduction. To use a professional sports metaphor, Shinabarger is what you might call a potent double threat. He's an award-winning sculptor, as well as a gifted oil painter, and his explorations in both mediums have transformed him into one of the exceptional talents of his generation.
Shinabarger's wildlife studies and monumental celebrations of big game animals have earned him honors and recognition from the National Sculpture Society, the Society of Animal Artists, and several prominent museums, distinctions rare for someone so young. Most recently in 2001, he was the recipient of the C. Percival Dietsch Award from the National Sculpture Society. He has also received the Louis Bennett Prize from the National Sculpture Society, the Elliot Liskin Award from the Society of Animal Artists, and the Tuffy Berg Memorial Award from the C.M. Russell Museum.

Standing 21.5" tall, this magnificent sculpture is a weighty bronze exuding visual and textural quality. Only your mountain sheep taxidermy can compete for attention with this grand artwork.
