All species that rode in with that incredible event and have flourished since. The scallop shell was bent while in wax for aesthetic reasons.

Michael J. Pollare - United States

Art Brokerage: Michael J. Pollare American Artist: b. 1962. Born in 1962, bronze sculpture artist Michael James Pollare was raised and educated in Illinois. He graduated from Western Illinois University in 1984, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art with a minor in Earth Sciences.

He creates three types of bronze statues and fine art bronze fountains, wall reliefs, and full-round bronze statues. He has twenty years experience in copper based alloy manufacturing and production, but will work in aluminum when weight is a consideration. Small oil paintings are incorporated with natural patina in his bronze wall pieces and full-round sculptures. His bronze sculpture works on both miniature and monumental scales. This artist creates 10 original designs a year. Most are one of a kind, but some can be replicated using the lost wax casting method and also can be enlarged. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
