T.D. Kelsey Sculpture at St. Louis Zoo

T.D. Kelsey created a a bronze pieces as part of the new installments at the St. Louis Zoo .The Warthogs bronze sculpture is a life-sized scene of a warthog family. Kelsey truly captures the dignity and serenity of these animals in a beautiful way. The bronze sculpture sits outside of the park at the south entrance, so even when the zoo is closed, passers by can enjoy the piece.
