ABOUT THE ARTIST                      

The purpose and intent of the artist is to produce lasting, inspirational and visual
artistic forms as valuable reminders that effectively share our particular interests,
activities and human experiences with our constant and continuing emotions
connected to the beauty, creativity  and appreciation of nature.


David Allred, artist, sculptor, teacher, sportsman and wildlife enthusiast, received his
degree in art and teaching credential from the University of Utah. The majority of is
art work reflects his intense interests in the outdoors. Using a variety of metals and
woods, Allred celebrates nature. Use of these exciting materials entices Allred toward
an endless array of possibilities. Consequently his work has broad appeal. Birds, fish
animals and sportsmen are major subjects, treated with reverence and attention to
detail. Insects and fishing flies become shining works of art under his torch. Each
piece is unique, individually conceived and executed by the artist.  


His  images from  nature—painstakingly produced in brass, copper, steel and wood
speak to men and women who know and love these moments and these creatures.
Using his torch and metals Allred captures the essence of wildlife and the human
outdoor experience. Allred’s skill and technique lend themselves to a variety of
subjects and treatments. Some of his pieces are of a realistic nature, particularly his
sporting art. Others are more abstract in form, utilizing various interpretations of the
metal and wood combinations. His custom work includes large metal wall sculpture for
commercial interests, trophies, figures in action, caricatures, assemblages and some
abstracts—special orders designed to meet the customers needs.


Collectors from across the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe, South America, Australia and
New Zealand own and appreciate his sculpture. Many have commissioned special
subjects.


Awards and recognition have come in exhibitions and shows. Who’s Who in California
recognized him in the 1981 edition. His productions have been displayed in galleries as
well as be some of the most prominent and distinguished names in the sporting world
including Abercrombie and Fitch, Cabela’s, Eddie Bauer, Orvis and Wild Wings.


An avid sportsman, Allred is active in organizations dedicated to the protection and
preservation of wildlife and habitat. He lives and works out of his studio in Redding,
California with his wife, Terry.
