Robert Deurloo lives along the Salmon River near the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48 states. His sculptures are cast from molten bronze, but due to an elaborate and exotic patina process, they have the appearance of being chiseled and polished from stone. The patinas are produced by intense heat while applying various acids and minerals.

As a professional artist, Deurloo has learned over his 25 year career that trying to capture every detail in a sculpture can actually detract from a piece. An exquisite form combined with a little mystery will not only capture the spirit of the animal, but will also allow the viewer to bring his own experiences to play in the appreciation of his works of art.

Robert Deurloo's art is represented by over 60 galleries from Canada to Australia. He exhibits in approximately 20 exhibitions each year from coast to coast. He was the featured sculptor at the National Zoological Show in our nation's capital. His awards include "Best of Class" three years in a row at the National Wildlife Art Show in Kansas City, and "Best Wildlife" at the Saratoga Art Show. His bison, "Prairie Patriarch," was recently acquired by the Smithsonian Institution, for permanent display in the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C.
