Description

Excerpted from the website:

In 1971, Steven Weitzman began a successful career as a freelance illustrator and painter in Boulder, Colorado. Over the next several years, he received numerous art and design awards for his commissioned and non-commissioned graphic designs. By 1980, sculpture dominated his artwork and he gained recognition for being one of the country's leading figurative bronze and wood sculptors. In 1983, his pieces began to take on an increasingly monumental scale. He moved to the Washington DC metro area in 1984, where his nationally acclaimed sculpture expanded to include environmental design, which integrates art with the existing and planned site. In 1985, Weitzman garnered international recognition when he created a sculpture on the United Nations' grounds in New York City that was dedicated for the United Nations' fortieth anniversary. In 1989, the Smithsonian commissioned Weitzman to create a 30' sculpture for the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. An estimated four million people observed the artist at work during the two years it took to carve the white oak.
