TESTIMONIALS
"I purchased a monument of an elk from Wildlife Bronzes for use outside our home. Our ranch is named "Elk Pointe". We enjoy it every day as we located it so we can see it from most rooms in the house.
Jocelyn is the best - what more can I say. The quality is excellent and she even delivered it to our home site in Colorado. We see elk every day so I know what they look like and Jocelyn has captured all the exciting attributes into a piece that generates excitement and fluid motion.
Ron Kolpin, Pagosa Springs, Colorado
"I only have great things to say about Jocelyn. I have two of her monuments, her "Royal Descent" elk at the entrance to my residence in Deer Valley, and a commissioned piece of a horse for one of our apartment complexes (Riverhorse Ranch Apartments) in Austin, Texas. She was wonderful to work with throughout the development process for the commissioned horse. When I first met Jocelyn at a Park City art festival, she was studying detailed drawings of the muscular structure of a tiger, in connection with a work in progress. I then experienced first hand that same devotion to detail in her works for me. Jocelyn is a delight to work with and her artwork is also delightful."
Rudy Belton, Austin, Texas
"I worked as the coordinator with Albert Lea Public Schools on the Bronze Tiger Project with Jocelyn Russell. She was prompt, professional, and a real joy to work with. The result of her work was a monument the whole community can take pride in, as both an exceptional piece of art, and a symbol for our high school that will create memories for students for years to come. I invite anyone from anywhere to come see AL (our tiger). Nobody does it better."
Rory Mattson, Albert Lea, Minnesota
