This piece was inspired by one of the northwest’s icons; the regal and majestic elk that live throughout the region.  True North Westerners love this symbol of the northwest and really appreciate the large antlers that they wear as a crown. 
The piece captures that majestic look and provides the opportunity to see up close, just how big these animals are by creating the piece in life-size form.
