ABOUT THE ARTIST 
​​Ramon Velazco

​A native of southern California, Ramon 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.
