Biography
Mark Hopkins, Sculptor, Loveland, Colorado.

Mark Hopkins is considered one of the premier sculptors in the United States
today. From tabletop sculpture to monuments, his work is displayed in homes,
offices, and public settings around the world.

Mark Hopkins’ work is in everyway, a reflection of its creator. It reveals
Mark’s total fascination with nearly every conceivable aspect of life: from
history, children, sports, music and to wildlife of the land, sea and air. With
a style so flowing and alive it has been called “bronze in motion,” the work is
as passionate and expressive as the artist himself.

For as long as he can remember, Mark has been captivated by form and design.
From the time he was young boy, with the encouragement of family and teachers,
he worked to develop his innate talent, and explore the various techniques and
mediums of sculpture.

In addition to his skill as an artist, Mark made himself a technical expert in
the art of “lost wax” bronze casting. At the Mark Hopkins Sculpture foundry,
Mark monitors the casting process, insuring that the integrity of his work is
maintained throughout its creation in bronze. With the help of many talented
craftsmen, Mark endeavors to establish an enduring legacy of high-quality bronze
sculpture.

It has taken half a lifetime for Mark to attain his preeminent status in the
world of art. For many years, the necessity of providing for his large family
took Mark into other, more traditional vocations. Throughout those years,
though, Mark never stopped sculpting. He knew in his heart that it was the work
he was born to do. From the many challenges and experiences of his life came a
remarkably unique style of art.

Mark Hopkins constantly challenges himself to translate the richness of life and
nobility of the human soul into enduring sculptural form. In his words, “I
strive to express beyond the image, to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions,
and to share joy.” As he continues to rise to that challenge, his work is
attaining an honored place in the history of art.
