Alma Allen – 1 Rabbit and 2 Tortoise bronze sculptures

Three limited edition bronze sculptures by local sculptor, Alma Allen. These sculptures were created exclusively for MDLT. Most of the proceeds from the sale of these sculptures will be donated to the Land Trust’s campaign to preserve land within the wildlife linkage corridor.

Self-taught and working largely independently of any recognized art movement, Allen has nevertheless gained attention from the art world due to his impeccable sense of material and form. Although each of his pieces may resemble a touchstone of modernism ultimately Allen’s sculptures possess a highly personal yet mysterious allure all their own.

Buy one “Rabbit” now for $300 or one of two “Tortoise” now for $300
