In the world of art and literature, Tony Angell is best known as an award-winning wildlife sculptor, painter, and author. However, to the corvids, owls, and sea mammals that have long inspired his creative spark, he has become an “angel” in the truest sense of the word. Infusing his stunning stone and bronze sculptures with a spirituality gained through a lifetime of firsthand observation, Angell has created an oeuvre of images whose value lies both in their aesthetic beauty and their ability to fuel the viewer’s desire to fully understand and protect these magnificent creatures of the wild.

“How does one convey the sense of flight in sculptured stone or metal? A falcon, seen suspended in the wind, invites the artist to explore the answer to the question.”
