The artist lives in Littleton, Colorado and his name is Don Mitchell. "Arne Hansen, noted art historian and museum curator said of Mitchell's work: "Don Mitchell, a nationally collected Colorado sculptor is an interesting study in contrasts.

This mixture of qualities attracts both very young viewers and major collectors of American art”. To date Don has sold over 1200 sculptures." excerpted from (
