Press Release Summary = Wildlife Sculptures capture the natural beauty of nesting
birds in both their natural habitats and in their co-existence with our modern
world.

Press Release Body = Succasunna, NJ – August 28, 2004 – WE all suffer from not
having the time to sit back and enjoy this thing we call life. There is barely a
moment taken to enjoy the natural world all around us anymore. There is a way,
however, for you to enjoy the natural wonders without venturing far from your front
steps. I recently came across an artist’s work of sculptured art that replicates the
beauty of nature and preserves it for all to enjoy. These sculptures capture nature
in the wild, co-existing with the human world. In some instances this co-existence
with the human world provides a welcome environment, in others, a sharp
contradiction.

With construction swallowing up more of our natural wild areas each year, it become
ever harder for our wildlife to seek refuge. One species, however, has made the
best of this situation, co-existing with humans as best they can. Birds have been
around for a very long time, with no indication they plan on leaving. They nest in
the most opportune places. The artists from Overboard Art have done a brilliant job
in recreating our fine-feathered friends nesting homes for all of us to enjoy.

These works of art, which adorn the homes and galleries of both the private and
public sectors, are reproduced from carved or sculptured originals. High standards
ensure that the replicas are near identical to the original. After the moldings are
casted, they undergo a labor-intensive process that requires an artist’s patience
and skill.

The highest grade of material resins, used in sculptures, is utilized to ensure the
artwork will give you a lifetime of enjoyment under normal care. Waterproof paints
similar to the type used on decoys designed to be thrown overboard, provide a
durable finish. Overboard Art derived its name when the art of decoy carvings
developed to the point of being too valuable to throw overboard.

The sculptures are available in a variety of nesting habitats, each with its own
charm. Most are produced in limited editions, thus preserving its value for future
generations. The limited editions come with a Certificate of Authenticity, numbered
and complete with the artists signature stamp. Each is cast in permanent resins and
hand painted by artists using waterproof acrylics, making them suitable for the
outdoors. I would personally keep them protected from the fading powers of the sun.

There are many collections available to choose from to suit everyone’s tastes and
styles in home decor. So whether you choose to display them outdoors in their most
natural setting or indoors to capture a natural look for your home decor, you are
assured of a soothing environment that is both pleasing to the eye and soul.

Nick Volpe, the author, appreciates these sculptures and the stories that inspired
them having taken many walks himself through often-abandoned fields, farms and
woodlands. The sculptures mentioned within this article are from the Overboard Art
Collections and can be viewed on his website at http://www.nfvproducts.com.
