Grace and Athleticism

“March Hare” by Anthony Vanderzweep.

“I have, over the years, developed a preference for sculpting animals. Their natural grace and athleticism make them an easy subject for me,” says Vanderzweep. “Rather than just producing a study of nature, I seek to accentuate in a sculpture an animal’s strength or charm, often choosing to elongate limbs or exaggerate the body volume, for the purpose of making a work of art, of beauty, that will be valued for life.”
