Bronze Whales

Various species of whales are modeled in the scale of 3” = 10 ft. of length. These are naturalistic depictions and with their typical coloration. Some of the features, like the ‘white mittens’ on the fins of the Minke Whale are used for identification.

These sculptures are suitable for use in science centers for admiration and comparison of the various species, and have the benefit of allowing visually impaired visitors to explore these wonderful animals through touch.

Bronze Whales - Three-dimensional Scientific Illustrations

My first set of bronze whales consists of a Finn Whale (21” long), Humpback Whale 16-1/2”), Mama Right Whale (18”), Juvenile Right Whale (12-1/2”) and a Minke Whale (9”). They were cast to my models at the Green Foundry in Eliot /Maine in 2023. I am working on other whale species which can be expected to be available in the winter /spring of 2024. These first 5 whales are at this time available for sale at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye /NH (ending Sept. 4th 2023).
