Atlantic Sturgeon
In September 2024, David H. Turner unveiled his Atlantic Sturgeon. This sculpture was nine months in the making, from inception in January to installation. It is located at the new James River Association Education Center in Richmond, VA. The sculpture honors the remarkable and visionary leadership of William H. Street IV, President and CEO of the James River Association (JRA).
William H. Turner and David H. Turner, father and son, share a talent of capturing the beauty and motion of wildlife in bronze. Their native land, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a peninsula surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, is rich in wildlife and is a continuous source of inspiration for their work.
Established in 1983, Turner Sculpture, near Onley, VA serves as their studios, foundry and gallery, where most of their work is displayed. To date they have created more than 700 different limited edition bronzes and more than 100 large public commissions found throughout the United States.
