River Rapture
By Kim Shaklee, Installed 2003
Kim Shaklee, a successful wildlife and marine sculptor, distinguishes herself from other artists by her unique ability to transform static metal into effortless motion. “Fluidity of lines is of upmost importance in animals and marine life. My desire is not merely to replicate the image of an animal or a marine subject, but rather to make its essence the focal point of the sculpture.”
Shaklee’s works have been shown in many national and international exhibitions and are included in collections around the world, including the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C., Oklahoma City Zoo, Little Rock Zoo, Azalea Park Sculpture Garden in Summerville, SC, and Benson Park Sculpture Garden in Loveland, CO.
