It wasn't until the 1990s that wildlife artist Jim Eppler began sculpting. Eppler wanted to represent his subjects in three dimensions. His experience as a painter made the transition easy for him.
Eppler's animals were at first detailed and colored realistically. His more recent work is more loose and colored in more traditional patinas. Eppler photographs his subjects in their natural environment before taking them back to to sculpt in his studio.
