Description
“The Wildbeest subject is something that our daughter Georgie has asked me to do for a while now. I have to say that I did not initially decide to do a migration piece when I started this subject – it just evolved into that. Initially I had just the two Wildebeest launching themselves into the Mara River but something was missing. It was not long before I realized that the ominous presence of the crocodile was an essential part of the scene.” John Tolmay

About The Artist – John Tolmay, African Wildlife Bronze Sculptures
“I live in that head-space between past and present, translating scenes and images that are vividly recorded in my mind into waxes and clays. I use various foundries around the States to expertly cast them into the pieces of art that grace homes, studios, trophy rooms and offices around the world. While being an artist and a hunter I am also personally committed to Conservation. I started what is known as the “Nyawa Pilot Project” in Zambia.
The aim of this project is to achieve a better balance for rural people and their resources. Gradually the slow process of change is gaining momentum and it is my sincere hope that the concept of Community Based Wildlife Management will cease to be something that is only spoken about and become policy in the near future.”
