Ken Ullberg (1940-2020) was a Swedish-born American wildlife sculptor celebrated for his monumental bronze sculptures that captured the power, movement, and spirit of animals with exceptional realism and artistry. Born in Sweden, Ullberg trained as a taxidermist before immigrating to the United States in the 1960s, where his deep understanding of animal anatomy became the foundation of his sculptural career. Best known for large-scale public works depicting North American wildlife, including birds of prey, big game animals, and marine life, he created numerous commissions for museums, conservation organizations, parks, and public spaces across the United States. Working primarily in bronze, Ullberg combined scientific accuracy with dramatic composition, earning widespread recognition as one of the foremost wildlife sculptors of his generation.
