"Down through the centuries, the owl has been a symbol of wisdom and mystery. Since the owl has no sense of smell, this majestic bird has been endowed with keen eyesight and hearing. The owl is almost stealth as it flies silently during its hunting expeditions. I decided to sculpt the great horned owl larger than life to metaphorically represent its importance to our natural world. She rests and watches during the last days of autumn." (from (visit link) )

"Bob Guelich realized he wanted to be an artist while patrolling the Aleutian Islands with the Coast Guard and witnessing the majestic wildlife he saw there.

He began painting, but soon turned to sculpture because he felt that working three-dimensionally better expressed his creativity and love for animals.

Today, Mr. Guelich's sculptures can be found in public collections including The San Antonio Zoo, Frederik Meijer Sculpture Garden, Ronald Reagan Library, Notre Dame University, Mayo Foundation and Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum.

Among the awards Mr. Guelich has received for his sculpture are the NSS Annual Exhibition Gold Medal (2000); NSS Annual Exhibition Silver Medal (2001); Medal of Excellence, Society of Animal Artists and the Silver Medal of Honor, Allied Artists of America." (from (visit link) )
