Derek Werhner

"Derek Werhner is of the Rodin school
(French) and he is the finest sculptor
in bronze in this school in the nation."

-- Mark Hoffman, Maxwell Gallery
San Francisco. CA

To have a Werhner is to enjoy a timeless piece of beauty.  

Among the many joys of having exceptionally fine art bronze sculpture as garden sculpture or in living and working spaces is the daily, timeless inspiration that springs from its movement and humanity.  Look closely at Derek Werhner's stunning musculature, his fine proprtions and the classic elegance of his work.  His skill and talent are rare.  He breathes life, air, movement and emotion into bronze sculpture.  Wernher manages to capture a moment that takes us outside of ourselves, and inside of ourselves, at the same time. 

Derek Wernher is an unassuming yet intensely dedicated creator of bronze sculpture, in both realistic life size bronze sculpture and abstract sculpture.  Artist Andrew Wyeth guided Wernher to his first sculpture apprenticeship.  Wernher has been a highly sought-after bronze sculpture artist for nearly 40 years and today his art is exhibited in discriminating private and corporate sculpture collections from New Hampshire to Texas, Montana and California.  More importantly, his unequaled skill in capturing sensitivity and humanity in life size bronze sculpture enhances the lives of all who marvel at his work. 

As a commission artist, working in his own foundry in a barn on the grounds of his old farm house in Metamora, Michigan, Derek Wernher approaches each project as a personal communication with each viewer.  He will give you wise advice about how to create the bronze sculpture, and the message, that you want to create.
