Scott Nelles Works

For decades Scott Nelles has been producing cast bronze sculpture & decorative items.  From toys to animals, his work displays a childlike playfulness, elegant design & superp control of his medium.  In his foundry/studio, Nelles is inspired by the natural world and the creatures within it.  His little bronze animals have been a favorite of many, for years. 

Inspiration is also derived from his childhood in the Detroit area.  On visits to foundries & steel mills with his father, a manufacturers representative, he was fascinated by the industrial process and the exiting objects that thrill boys & girls of all ages.  Using the timeless methods of sand casting & hand finishing he creates objects of beauty, strength, and whimsy.  Scott has been exhibited worldwide.
