Kent Ullberg

Born in Sweden, Kent Ullberg became a resident of Corpus Christi, Texas from where he became one of the more recognized American wildlife sculptors in the late 20th century. He has done numerous public commissions.

In 1998, he won the top award at the Prix de West show in Oklahoma City for his bronze Ocean’s Cradle. The work depicts a mother otter cradling her pup and resulted from a three-day trip in the Pacific Ocean sketching and photographing sea otters and their pups cavorting in the waters off California’s Monterey Peninsula.
