PETER SAWATzkY

Peter Sawatzky is a remarkably energetic and prolific artist who thrives on challenges. His passion for wildlife and the natural environment has been an inspiration for decades. Sawatzky's subject matter has developed to incorporate a range of North American birds and animals and most recently, a trip to Africa catalyzed the creation of species new to the artist's body of work. Sawatzky sculpts in all scales; his latest public commission "Seal River Crossing" was installed at Portage Avenue and Main Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is a twenty-nine foot long heroic bronze of eleven caribou crossing a river.

Born in southern Manitoba in 1951, Peter Sawatzky grew up on his family's farm in the Mennonite village of Sommerfeld. As a winner of countless awards and numerous commissions in both Canada and the USA, Sawatzky has achieved a unique status in Canada's sculpture tradition.
