Artist:    Mark Stepper and David Stepper

Artist's Statement:
As children, Boston artists and identical twins Mark and David Stepper became fascinated with the Earth's unique inhabitants. They could often be found exploring the ponds and back woods surrounding their Connecticut home for turtles, frogs and fish.

Mark and David were trained in sculpture by their mother, an accomplished artist, and were transforming scraps of clay into wonderful creatures by age three. Like the bond shared by most identical twins, when Mark and David combine their individual artistic styles, the outcome is often extraordinary. Their work embraces both abstract and realistic elements, resulting in a line of imaginative yet familiar creatures. Delightful personality and fantastic motion bring each piece to life. All sculptures are hand-cast in high quality pewter and meticulously hand finished. Mark and David's work can be found in fine galleries and museums throughout the United States.
