Smus Named Artist of the Year
The State of Maine Sportsman’s Show has named wildlife bronze sculptor David Smus as its “Artist of the Year.”
A special display of Smus’ works will be on display at the show that will be held April 2-4 at the Augusta Civic, and Smus will be on hand to talk to people about his work.
Growing up around the woods and waters of rural Maine, his life-long love of art and the outdoors has merged with his expert knowledge of animal anatomy and life history. His fascination with preserving nature's beauty in an artistic format was fostered during his early years as a licensed taxidermist.
Earning a degree in Wildlife Management from the University of Maine, he later surrendered to his heart and chose art as his true vocation. Beginning as a self-taught wood carver, he has long since worked with many well-known sculptors. Lost-wax bronze is now his primary medium of choice.
