Spirit of Nevada Douglas Van Howd Studios 530-887-9600 Bronze Sculptures
Spirit of Nevada
Doug was raised in Nevada where the mustangs were part of his early life, and these bronze sculptures are consequently very accurate. The "Spirit of Nevada" consists of four mares and a foal running free with their stallion to honor this last remaining symbol of the Old West frontier. This is also available in the mini maquette. In addition, the "Wild & Free" sculpture includes the stallion, mare and foal, and the "Mare and Foal" are also offered separately. (Also See Monuments)

Sculptures
Doug's lifelike detail and movement in sculptures are carried out in the casting of his work by his own company of artists who are trained to produce the highest quality of old world craftsmanship. The term "maquette" refers to a smaller sculpture that is used for point-up reference for the larger size sculptures. The editions are typically 50 for the bronze sculptures and 24 for the .999 Fine Silver, unless otherwise noted.
Douglas Van Howd, Nevada born sculptor and painter, has become well-known worldwide for his wildlife and western creations. He received his advanced art education at the highly acclaimed Art Center School in Southern California, where he began to develop his exquisite lifelike detailed style that enhances the grace and movement he captures in his work. This trademark has brought him to a place of honor in his field and his works are found in collections worldwide.
