Gary Eigenberger (American, b. 1960)

SharpShinned Hawk

2004, 28" high, wood

With a love for nature and the outdoors, and an intriguing interest

in three-dimensional sculpture,Gary Eigenberger started sculpturing animals and birds in clay at an early age. At 14, Gary started sculpturing and carving birds out of wood with his only tool, a pocketknife.  By 1987, he became aware of the deep love he had for wildfowl and the art form.  Having vivid impressions from observing nature, coupled with his natural artistic sense of design, intricate detail, and realism, allowed him to create various sculptures that have been on exhibit worldwide. He has won many awards including many “Best in Show”, People’s Choice Awards and Best in World.
