CONSERVATOIN PLAQUE ARTIST, RAMON VELAZCO
A native of southern California, Ramon Velazco developed an early passion and natural ability for sculpture. As a teenager, his work was included in the “LA County High School Art Exhibit” in which he landed 1st place in sculpture and “Best of Show”. After attending Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, he has continued to hone his skills through a consuming passion for his work and dedication to its quality. He now specializes in figurative sculpture.
Velazco is frequently commissioned to sculpt for the entertainment industry, as well as private individuals and public organizations; however, his personal interest lies with California non-profit organization Ventana Wildlife Society. In 2003, he collaborated with Decker Studios to create a full-size replica of an adult male California condor in full flight. The sculpture was part of an exhibition at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and is now on permanent display. With this plaque, Velazco has combined both his artistic talents and concern for the environment and its wildlife.
