Turtle sculpture

The Western Painted Turtle is an endangered and red-listed species that lives here on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. It is the only native turtle in BC. There is a group of local biologists that monitor the red-listed painted turtles. The biologists work to remove the introduced slider turtle, reclaim habitats and monitor turtle hatchlings.

The Western Painted Turtle Sculpture was carved in wax then cast in bronze for the original design. The reproductions are cast in silver pewter

Each turtle sculpture is going to have its unique patina, no two sculptures are alike but just as beautiful.
