About James Marsico

I have lived with my family near Yellowstone National Park in Powell, WY, where my studio is also located since 1976. My sculptures are collected worldwide and includes a monument size bronze elk that was shipped to a collector near Geneva, Switzerland. Twelve more of my monument sized sculptures are placed in the United States, including installations at the Craig Thomas Visitor and Discovery Center in Grand Teton Nation Park, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of West Chester in Philadelphia. I have diorama taxidermy artwork on display in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
