Edward Hlavka's Biography
A native of South Dakota, Edward Hlavka developed an early passion and natural ability for sculpture. While still in grade school his work was included in the "South Dakota Outstanding Young Artist Traveling Exhibition". He toured Italy as a teenager and was influenced by the master sculptors of the Renaissance. After attending the College of Art and Design in Minneapolis, Hlavka continued to hone his skills in various workshops including a study of portrait and figurative realism in France under the direction of Martine Vaugel.
His sculptures are proudly on display in private collections and fine art galleries throughout the United States. Hlavka's most recent commissions include a monument of Christ with two children, President George Bush, President Thomas Jefferson, President Richard M. Nixon, Colonel Sturgis depicted atop his horse, and the Sundance Kid. Hlavka's work ranges from natural wildlife to Western themes, with impressive studies in American political history. He is perhaps best known for his extreme attention to detail and his graceful figurative design.
