Mark Hopkins Bronze Sculpture - Mark Hopkins bronze sculptures are in every way a reflection of its creator. Hopkins subjects are as numerous and varied as his interests – wildlife, history, children, fantasy, sports, music, etc. With a style so flowing and alive it has been called “bronze in motion,” the work is as passionate and expressive as the man.
Mark Hopkins is considered one of the premier bronze sculptors in the United States today. From tabletop sculpture to monuments, his work is displayed in homes, offices, and public settings around the world.
It has taken half a lifetime for Hopkins to achieve such prominent status. For many years, there was mostly struggle and discouragement. The necessity of providing for his family frequently took Mark off course into other vocations. Always, though, his heart yearned to return to the work he knew he was born to do Bronze Sculpture.
Mark Hopkins made himself a technical expert in “lost wax” bronze casting. In 1988, he established Mark Hopkins Sculpture, Inc., a bronze foundry nestled in the foothills of the northwest Georgia mountains. There he brought together a talented group of skilled craftsmen, many of whom are artists in their own right.
