Born in the small town of Creston, British Columbia, in 1959, Karl Lansing grew up close to nature. As a young boy, he had opportunitites to view and study wildlife in their natural habitat. His father was a passionate hunter and influenced his sons in the sport. By age twelve, Karl had engrained a passion for wildlife and put that passion to use in the art of sculpture making.  

Karl Lansing’s sculptures can be found all across the US, Canada, Mexico and even Europe. His sculptures are works of art we the viewer can enjoy from either afar or up close. With their deep level of design and added layers of paint, we see textures of tree bark and animal fur, and eye piercing beauty which thus gives them a life-like feel. The thoughtful names he gives his masterpieces are even something to enjoy.  

Karl’s  studio is nestled in the southeast corner of British Columbia. He enjoys the process of creating a new piece, from the initial inception through to the final details that make his work so unique. He strives to create works of art that will captivate the attention of the viewer. When you look at a Karl Lansing sculpture and feel life in the eyes, or hear the bugle of the elk, or smell the earth around you, then Karl feels his work is done.
