The sculpture of bobcats chasing a hare was created by William H. and David H. Turner. It can be found at the front of the Museum, located in the left shrubbery. It was donated by Museum founder Harry Wason to celebrate the opening of the new building in 2004.
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 , including several at the VLM.
