Wayne Trinklein

St. Peters, Missouri

Wayne Trinklein, a former family physician, began his artistic career 50 years ago using tree sculptures to portray the character of the people in his life. He used copper, tin, and rock to recreate the anatomy of the real trees he climbed and the unique qualities of real people. His created trees sit on the desks of five state governors, and many famous and strong leaders. He has won scores of artistic awards but cherishes most the tears in the eyes of the sensitive, romantic person who feels honored by the special tree fashioned for them.
