Local Artists Near Bemidji

“We commissioned Paula Jensen, Earth Eagle Forge LLC to create a life size Great Grey Owl out of sheet bronze to be placed at deck-view, on a tree in our backyard. We suggested the owl's back be facing the deck with it's head turned, looking toward the deck. She researched the owl, completed concept sketches, we agreed on a price and upon our approval she started the sculpture. She kept us informed of her progress through photos and updates on her webpage. Paula is a very professional artist. Not only was she concerned that we would be pleased with her work, but she demands an excellence in herself that is captured in every detail of her product. You not only notice detail on every feather, but she created a bronze branch for it to perch on and a frog in it's talons. I recommend visiting her webpage to see the process. Following the owl project we asked that she create a handrail for our front step that was in the shape of a viking-type dragon. After a brief discussion of what shape that may take, she designed and created a dragon head and serpent body rail that blends in beautifully with our nordic theme. I highly recommend this artist for her knowledge, skill, ability to listen, and create a product of the highest standard in metal sculpting.”
