Charles Ellithorpe, DVM

‘Charles Ellithorpe, DVM  ~ ‘Setter’ ~ 18’L x 13″H x 7″W Bronze Sculpture Limited Edition of 12. Retail $3200.

Charles Ellithorpe is an award-winning bronze sculptor, wildlife artist and a practicing small animal veterinarian in Maine. After graduating from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991, he lived in Washington and Montana before moving to mid-coast Maine where he enjoys a small “farm” with his family.

Charles describes himself as a self-taught artist, but gives credit to his formal training in animal anatomy and his years as a veterinary surgeon. His sculptures show his dedication to realism and detail, yet he says his goal is “not to recreate nature but to show the art in God’s Creations. I enjoy creating art in memory of all the wilderness experiences I have had, including being charged by an unhappy grizzly in Alaska and a nose-to-nose stare down with a rutting bull moose in British Columbia.” Charles has been sculpting and producing limited edition bronze sculptures since 1997 and was an award-winning wood carver prior to that.
