Artist: De L'Esprie and David Spellerberg The artistry and craftsmanship of De L'Esprie and David Spellerberg is known very well not only in the public art community but with celebrities and dignitaries including Gene Autry's family, Burt Reynolds, Dick Van Dyke and even a sculpture in the likeness of Ronald Reagan and housed at the Ronald Reagan Library. This large attraction to their work speaks to the undeniable talent that they both bring to their craft. In 1979, David L. Spellerberg founded the National Heritage Collectors Society a “fine art” bronze foundry, , which later became Great American Bronze Works, Inc. of Westlake Village, California. His bronze art is widely renowned due to his use of the "lost wax process" which allows for more details and depth than the more commercial modern styles of bronze sculptures. Bronze Sculpture
