About the Item

Beautiful bronze sculpture of a Sea Lion lounging on rocks by Trent L. Meyer. Signed "Trent Meyer 1985 2/100" on front of rocks. Sea lions are sea mammals characterized by external ear flaps, long fore flippers, the ability to walk on all fours, and short, thick hair. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean.[1] They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 8 ft (2.4 m) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 6 ft (1.8 m) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 10 ft (3.0 m). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 15–35 lb (6.8–15.9 kg)) at a single feeding. Trent L. Meyer is a native of northern California.He grew up in Sutter County and was raised in the country between Yuba City and the Sutter Buttes. He started sculpting at the age of fourteen while a sophomore at Sutter Union High School and had the opportunity to take a taxidermy class, forever changing his life. It so fascinated him that he spent 13 of his 16 years as a professional taxidermist west of Yuba City after graduating from High School. Trent has now devoted his life to a full-time career in sculpting in bronze and designing specialty hand tools for the taxidermy trade. Trent's experiences as a taxidermist and photographer are carried over into the anatomical detail, facial expressions and realism in his bronze sculptures. His pieces are sought after around the world. His travels have taken him exploring throughout the United States, Alaska and international travels through parts of Africa, Canada, Indonesia, Taiwan, Mexico and the Middle East. The opportunities through his second avocation as a photographer, opened his world to gathering reference material from the observation of people and their cultures and studying wildlife in their natural environment. This first hand education has inspired an ever growing and diverse portfolio shown over his 25-year career in the art of bronze sculpture.
