John Welch uses the lost wax process to create beautiful bronze sculptures that he is offering to collectors of fine art.

John's love affair with nature began at an early age.  He has studied wildlife for most of his 60 plus years.  His years of study, both in the field and formal studies, have made his knowledge of animal anatomy a vital tool in his realistic creations.  John's search for perfection is manifested in each piece of art he creates.
