From an early age, Don Wiegand was fascinated by shape and form. From assembling paper cutouts to arranging sticks and branches into makeshift structures, Don began his journey into interpreting life in both reality and the abstract. As he demonstrated with his largest sculpture, Mr. Wiegand’s penchant for shape and form would often reveal itself in architecture. In the 1970s, he formed a design/build company which he would pursue for a few years until his love for sculpting once again tugged at his heart. He progressed from a few commissions in the late 1970s, to a number of signature pieces created in the 1980s. The most notable of these was his portrait in the round of Charles Lindbergh. Casts of that piece may be found in various parts of the world, including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. He followed that with portraits of Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, Christopher Columbus and many more inspiring pieces.
