Oklahomans will soon have an opportunity to view the works of some of the country's most talented wildlife artists at the NatureWorks Wildlife Art Show and Sale, March 4-5. The annual show, held in Tulsa, attracts some of the best wildlife sculptors and painters in the nation.

More than 20 Federal Duck Stamp paintings will be on display, including Sherrie Russell Meline's painting of Ross' geese which will be featured on the 2006 federal duck stamp. Bruce Miller, Mark Anderson, and Scott Storm, each past duck stamp winners, will be at the Wildlife Art Show displaying their latest creations.

Art enthusiasts can get a sneak peek at many of the sculptures and paintings that will be on display at the show through a special online show at natureworks.org. Participants can read artist biographies, view a map of booth locations and even purchase art during the regular show hours on March 4-5.

Bradford Williams, a sculptor from Prescott, Arizona is the featured artist at this year’s NatureWorks Wildlife Art Show. Williams produced “Tulsa Trumpeter,” one of the 14 bronze monuments dedicated to the City of Tulsa by NatureWorks and its patrons.

The annual Wildlife Art Show and Sale sponsored by NatureWorks, a non-profit organization, has generated matching grants to assist a variety of organizations for use in state wildlife conservation projects.

Programs such as the Hunters Against Hunger program, the Harold Stuart Waterfowl Refuge Unit within the Deep Fork Wildlife Management Area (WMA) and the Grassy Slough WMA have benefited from NatureWorks generous support.

The NatureWorks Wildlife Art Show and Sale will be held at the Tulsa Marriott-Southern Hills, Saturday, March 4 through Sunday, March 5. For more information about NatureWorks or the art show, call (918) 296-4278 or log on to www.natureworks.org.
