For more than three decades, sculptor Will Pettee has explored the enduring themes of beauty, faith, achievement, and the human spirit through sculpture.

​

Working from his studio on California's Monterey Peninsula, Pettee creates original bronze sculptures, portrait commissions, memorial works, sacred art, and public monuments that seek to capture not only physical likeness, but also character, purpose and story.

​

His work is rooted in the classical tradition of figurative sculpture while embracing contemporary subjects and themes.  Whether portraying a world-renowned athlete, a beloved family member, a religious figure, or a wildlife subject, each sculpture is approached with the belief that great art should reveal something essential about its subject and create a lasting connection with those who experience it.

​

Pettee's work can be found in private collections, public spaces, and institutions throughout the United States and internationally.  From intimate collector pieces to large-scale commissioned works, every project is guided by a commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and legacy.

​

Why Bronze?

Bronze remains Pettee's primary medium because of its unmatched ability to preserve both artistic vision and personal legacy for generations. Through careful design, sculpting, mold making, casting, and finishing, each work is created with attention to detail and a respect for the traditions of sculptural arts.

​

Collectors are drawn to sculpture for many reasons: to commemorate a life, celebrate an achievement, express faith, honor a loved one, or simply bring beauty into their environment.  Pettee welcomes opportunities to collaborate with collectors, families, organizations, churches, and institutions seeking meaningful works of lasting significance.
